What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| chest compressions effectiveness | the percentage of correct chest compressions relative to the total number of chest compressions | 1 day | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Depth | correct depth according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation | 1 day | 
| Pressure point | correct pressure point according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation | 1 day | 
| Complete pressure release | Complete pressure release measure by manikin software | 1 day | 
| Rate of chest compressions | correct chest compressions rate according to European Resuscitation Council 2015 guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation | 1 day | 
| Ease-of-use | To access subjective opinion about the difficulty of each chest compression method, participants were asked to rate it on a visual analog scale (VAS) with a score from 1 (extremely easy) to 10 (extremely difficult). | 1 day |
