Effectiveness of Pediatric Resuscitation
A study testing The CPRmeter, The PocketCPR and Standard BLS in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by International Institute of Rescue Research and Education at 1 site in Poland.
Trial summary
The aim of this study was to compare five CPR feedback devices to standard BLS in terms of the quality of single rescuer pediatric resuscitation. Therefore, the investigators hypothesis was that there would be no difference between CPR methods in terms of chest compression quality parameters. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Quality of Chest Compressions During 8 Min of Single-rescuer Pediatric Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation With Five Different CPR Feedback Devices. Randomised Crossover Manikin Trial
The aim of this study was to compare five CPR feedback devices to standard BLS in terms of the quality of single rescuer pediatric resuscitation. Therefore, the investigators hypothesis was that there would be no difference between CPR methods in terms of chest compression quality parameters.
Read the detailed description
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide. High-quality chest compressions are of paramount importance for survival and good neurological outcome. Unfortunately, even health professionals have difficulty performing effective CPR. Chest compression (CC) is often too shallow, compression ratio is inadequate, and hands-off time is too long. CPR feedback devices might be an option for rescuers to in order to increase CC efficiency.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions

Measured: 1 month
Secondary outcomes (7)
Chest compression depth
To measure chest compression depth during 8 minutes. Chest compression depth will be measured using the software connected to the manikin and computer
Measured: 1 month
Chest compression rate
To measure the chest compression rate during 8 minutes. Chest compression rate will be measured using the software connected to the manikin and computer
Measured: 1 month
effective compressions ratio was defined as effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%]
effective compressions ratio was defined as effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%]
Measured: 1 month
Flow time was defined as the sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed
flow time was defined as the sum of all periods during which chest compressions were performed.
Measured: 1 month
absolute hands-off time was defined as the sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation
absolute hands-off time (HOT) was defined as the sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation
Measured: 1 month
VAS (visual analogue scale)
after having completed the 8 min testing period, the study participants were asked how challenging they had experienced standard BLS or resuscitation which the respective feedback device. answers were rated on a 10-point Lickert scale (most difficult = 1 to easiest = 10)
Measured: 1 month
Prefered CPR device
after having completed the 8 min testing period, the study participants were asked how chellenging whitch method they would preferred. answers were rated on a 10-point Lickert scale (lower preferred = 1 to most preferred = 10)
Measured: 1 month

The aim of this study was to compare five CPR feedback devices to standard BLS in terms of the quality of single rescuer pediatric resuscitation. Therefore, the investigators hypothesis was that there would be no difference between CPR methods in terms of chest compression quality parameters.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Nov 2014.
