Video-assisted Telephone CPR With the EmergencyEye-Software - a Pilot Study - Proof of Concept

Overview

Technical advance as broad-bandwidth wireless internet coverage and the ubiquity utilization of smartphones has opened up new possibilities which surpass the normal audio-only telephony. High quality and real-time video-telephony is now feasible. However until now this technology hasn't been deployed in the emergency respond service. In the hope of helping the detection of the cardiac arrest, offer the possibility to evaluate and correct via a video-instructed CPR (V-CPR) and to facilitate a fast localization of the emergency site, a new software (EmergencyEye®/RAMSES®) was developed which enables the dispatcher a video-telephony with the callers mobile terminal (smartphone) if suitable. This technology hasn't been tested in a randomized controlled trial in real environment conditions yet. This is to be done in this study.
