About this study

Official title: The Effect of Attention Distractor During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation on the Quality of Chest Compression: Randomized Crossover Trial With Simulated Situation

The investigators plan to investigate the effect of attention distractor on the quality of chest compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. For this, a simulated study with Manikin is performed and the paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT) is used for distracting performer's attention.

Being tested
paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT)

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT)Other

    A number between 1 to 9 is called every three seconds through a speaker, and the performer calculates the last two numbers and shouts the answer.

Study groups in NCT03124290
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CPR with attention distraction firstOtherFirst, they perform two-minute chest compressions with conducting the PASAT. After 20 mins' rest, they perform two-minute chest compressions without conducting the PASAT.
Receives: Other: paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT)
CPR without attention distraction firstOtherFirst, they perform two-minute chest compressions without conducting the PASAT. After 20 mins' rest, they perform two-minute chest compressions with conducting the PASAT.
Receives: Other: paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. adequate compression rate

    the percentage of chest compression with adequate rate (100-120 per minute) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest compressions (rate:100-120/min) x 100 / number of all chest compressions during two minutes

    Measured: two minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. adequate compression depth

    the percentage of chest compression with adequate depth (5-6cm) during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)= number of adequate chest compressions(depth=5-6cm)x 100 / all chest compressions during two minutes

    Measured: two minutes

  2. adequate chest recoil

    the percentage of chest compression with adequate chest recoil during two-minute chest compression. Formula(%)=number of adequate chest recoils(automatically measured with simulator) x 100/ number of all chest compressions during two minutes

    Measured: two minutes

  3. mean compression rate

    Average of compression rate during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outome is 'number per minute'.

    Measured: two minutes

  4. mean compression depth

    Average of compression depth during two-minute chest compression. The scale for this outcome is 'cm'.

    Measured: two minutes

  5. Subjective difficulty

    Each performer rate the subjective difficulties of two arms with the 100mm VAS (0: very easy, 100: very difficult)

    Measured: Two minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT) in people with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Simulation Training, run by Inje University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

adequate compression rate (time frame: two minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03124290, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 May 2017.
