Evaluation of Efficacy of Online Real-time Home CPR Training Program
Condition: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation; Cardiopulmonary Arrest; Education
MeSH terms: Heart Arrest
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      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.
    

Detailed description: 
      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.

      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.

Intervention description(s): The participants in the intervention group will have Little Anne QCPR mannequins (Laerdal, Stavanger, Norway) delivered to their homes. The participants will use an online platform specifically developed for CPR training (HEROS Remote app). The training program will provide video-based self-instruction training followed by hands-on chest compression training with the instructor. The hands-on chest compression training session provides real-time chest compression quality measurement followed by real-time feedback from the instructor. Chest compression quality will be measured by Little Anne QCPR mannequins.; Participants in the conventional CPR training program group will be provided CPR education with the "Home Education and Resuscitation Outcome Study (HEROS)" program that is currently provided in Seoul, Korea. The HEROS program is a 1-hour training course, consisting of a 30-minute video-based self-instruction training with a mannequin. The program also includes a bystander CPR simulation with a simulated dispatcher using the participants own cell phone. Little Anne QCPR mannequins will be provided to measure and give feedback on the participants chest compression performance.
