An interventional study of The TrueCPR feedback device and Standard BLS in Cardiac Arrest, sponsored by International Institute of Rescue Research and Education. Completed at 1 site in Poland. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-11-18.

The aim of this study was to compare the TrueCPR feedback device (with metronome) to standard basic life support (BLS) in terms of the quality of single rescuer pediatric resuscitation. Therefore, our hypothesis was that there would be no difference between both CPR methods in terms of chest compression quality parameters.
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide. High-quality chest compressions are of paramount importance for survival and good neurological outcome. Unfortunately, even health professionals have difficulty performing effective CPR. Chest compression (CC) is often too shallow, compression ratio is inadequate, and hands-off time is too long. CPR feedback devices might be an option for rescuers to in order to increase CC efficiency.
