Pediatric Resuscitation With Feedback Devices
A study testing Standard BLS, The CPREazy and TrueCPR 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 four different 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 Pediatric Chest Compression: Comparing Four CPR Feedback Devices With Standard BLS by a Single Rescuer: A Randomised Controlled Manikin Trial
The aim of this study was to compare four different 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
Effective compressions was defined as compression with correct depth (40-50mm), correct hand position and complete decompressions
Measured: 1 day
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 day
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 day
effective compressions ratio
effective compressions ratio was defined as effective compressions [%] multiplied by flow time [%]
Measured: 1day
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 day
absolute hands-off time
absolute hands-off time (HOT) was defined as the sum of all periods without chest compressions or ventilation
Measured: 1 day
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 day
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 day

What does the primary outcome measure?
Effective compressions (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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?
