Evaluation of Efficacy of Online Real-time Home CPR Training Program

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a real-time home CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training program. The study participants will be allocated to two different CPR training programs. The intervention group will participate in the real-time home CPR training program while the control group will participate in the conventional CPR training program. The investigators will compare the quality of chest compression between the two study groups. The investigators hypothesize that the new real-time home CPR training program is non-inferior to the preexisting conventional CPR training program.

Bystander CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is important for the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients. CPR training for the general public is important to improve the rate and quality of bystander CPR. Conventional CPR education was conducted under face-to-face contact with instructors and multiple trainees gathered at a training center, but after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, face-to-face training became difficult. To overcome this limitation the investigators have developed a new real-time home CPR training program. The training program delivers Little Anne QCPR mannequins (Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway) to each participants homes and the participants use an application specifically developed for CPR training that automatically connects wirelessly to the Little Anne QCPR mannequin through Bluetooth so that the instructor can give real-time feedback on chest compression quality to participants. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a real-time home CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training program. The study participants will be allocated to two different CPR training programs. The intervention group will participate in the real-time home CPR training program while the control group will participate in the conventional CPR training program. The investigators will compare the quality of chest compression between the two study groups. Chest compression quality at the start of both training programs and after completion of the programs will be measured by Little Anne QCPR mannequins used in the training programs. The investigators hypothesize that the new real-time home CPR training program is non-inferior to the preexisting conventional CPR training program.
