Study summary

The objective of our randomized simulation study on mannequins with a population of Basic Life Support students is to compare the quality of chest compressions, taking depth as the main variable, in two simulated scenarios of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on a bed: one where Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is performed on the bed and another where the patient is transferred to the ground for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
