The investigators sought to evaluate the influence of fatigue after a night shift on the quality of Chest Compressions (CC) in CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), among physicians.
This is a non inferiority cluster randomized trial on three Emergency Departments (ED) and five Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from three urban academic hospital in Paris, France. The investigators evaluated the quality of CC with a low-fidelity manikin and its electronic feedback device. The investigators tested subjects on a 6-minutes CC-only CPR scenario, including 2 minutes of pause. Physicians were tested either on a control day then after a night shift, or after a night shift then on a control day.
