About this study
Official title: Is Video-assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation More Effective Than Telephone-assisted or Not-instructed Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation by Laypeople? - a Randomized Controlled Simulation Study
Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem worldwide and it is one of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatchers play an important role to recognize cardiac arrest and give help to the lay first responder via telephone CPR (T-CPR) which improves survival rates. The current technology allows the live video connection between the scene and the dispatcher which provides the opportunity for video-assisted CPR (V-CPR) via the bystander smartphone.
Effectiveness of V-CPR has only been investigated to a limited extent. Comparing effectiveness of V-CPR (effectiveness of chest compression, time parameters eg. time to first chest compression) to T-CPR and non-instructed CPR can be useful to implement V-CPR technology.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem worldwide and it is one of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries. EMS dispatchers play an important role to recognize cardiac arrest and give help to the lay first responder via telephone CPR (T-CPR) which improves survival rates. The current technology allows the live video connection between the scene and the dispatcher which provides the opportunity for video-assisted CPR (V-CPR) via the bystander smartphone.
Effectiveness of V-CPR has only been investigated to a limited extent. Comparing effectiveness of V-CPR (quality of chest compressions: depth, rate, hand position), time parameters: time to recognize cardiac arrest, time of check breathing, total no-flow time, to first chest compression) to T-CPR and non-instructed CPR can be useful to implement V-CPR technology.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Video-assisted CPROther
Participants in V-CPR group get video-based (vocal and visual) instructions from the dispatcher.
Telephone-assisted CPROther
Participants in T-CPR group get voice-based (vocal) instructions from the dispatcher.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| T-CPR | Active comparator | Participants perform telephone-assisted CPR based on the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2021 guidelines. Receives: Other: Video-assisted CPR; Other: Telephone-assisted CPR |
| V-CPR | Experimental | Participants perform video-assisted CPR based on the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2021 guidelines. Receives: Other: Video-assisted CPR; Other: Telephone-assisted CPR |
| Unassisted CPR | No intervention | CPR without dispatcher instructions. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quality of chest compressions (depth of chest compressions).
Chest compression depth will be evaluated by a manikin connected to a CPR software.
Measured: During procedure
Quality of chest compressions (rate of chest compressions).
Chest compression rate will be evaluated by a manikin connected to a CPR software.
Measured: During procedure
Quality of chest compressions (hand position of chest compressions).
Hand position during chest compression will be evaluated by observation.
Measured: During procedure
Secondary outcomes (2)
Time factors of CPR
Measuring the time of check breathing, time to recognize cardiac arrest, time to first chest compression, and cumulative time of no-flow time by the CPR software and observation.
Measured: During procedure
Attitude of bystanders.
Subjective feelings after performing CPR based on a short survey using Likert-scale based queries (lower numbers indicate worse, higher score indicates better opinion).
Measured: Immediately after the CPR procedure (within 15 minutes)

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?
Quality of chest compressions (depth of chest compressions). (time frame: During procedure). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05639868, 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.
