Abstract
BACKGROUND Drone-delivered automated external defibrillators (AEDs) hold promises in the treatment of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Our objective was to estimate the time needed to perform resuscitation with a drone-delivered AED and to measure cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality. METHODS Mock out-of-hospital cardiac arrest simulations that included a 9-1-1 call, CPR, and drone-delivered AED were conducted. Each simulation was timed and video-recorded. CPR performance metrics were recorded by a Laerdal Resusci Anne Quality Feedback System. Multivariable regression modeling examined factors associated with time from 9-1-1 call to AED shock and CPR quality metrics (compression rate, depth, recoil, and chest compression fraction). Comparisons were made among those with recent CPR training (≤2 years) versus no recent (>2 years) or prior CPR training. RESULTS We recruited 51 research participants between September 2019 and March 2020. The median age was 34 (Q1-Q3, 23-54) years, 56.9% were female, and 41.2% had recent CPR training. The median time from 9-1-1 call to initiation of CPR was 1:19 (Q1-Q3, 1:06-1:26) minutes. A median time of 1:59 (Q1-Q3, 01:50-02:20) minutes was needed to retrieve a drone-delivered AED and deliver a shock. The median CPR compression rate was 115 (Q1-Q3, 109-124) beats per minute, the correct compression depth percentage was 92% (Q1-Q3, 25-98), and the chest compression fraction was 46.7% (Q1-Q3, 39.9%-50.6%). Recent CPR training was not associated with CPR quality or time from 9-1-1 call to AED shock. Younger age (per 10-year increase; β, 9.97 [95% CI, 4.63-15.31] s; P<0.001) and prior experience with AED (β, -30.0 [95% CI, -50.1 to -10.0] s; P=0.004) were associated with more rapid time from 9-1-1 call to AED shock. Prior AED use (β, 6.71 [95% CI, 1.62-11.79]; P=0.011) was associated with improved chest compression fraction percentage. CONCLUSION Research participants were able to rapidly retrieve an AED from a drone while largely maintaining CPR quality according to American Heart Association guidelines. Chest compression fraction was lower than expected.

The effect of standalone audio-visual feedback devices on the quality of chest compressions during laypersons' cardiopulmonary resuscitation training: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs 2024; 23:11-20. [PMID: 37154435 DOI: 10.1093/eurjcn/zvad041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2022] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Individual studies that investigated the effect of standalone audio-visual feedback (AVF) devices during laypersons' cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training have yielded conflicting results. This review aimed to evaluate the effect of standalone AVF devices on the quality of chest compressions during laypersons' CPR training. METHOD AND RESULT Randomized controlled trials of simulation studies recruiting participants without actual patient CPR experience were included. The intervention evaluated was the quality of chest compressions with standalone AVF devices vs. without AVF devices. Databases, such as PubMed, Cochrane Central, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, and PsycINFO, were searched from January 2010 to January 2022. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. A meta-analysis alongside a narrative synthesis was used for examining the effect of standalone AVF devices.Sixteen studies were selected for this systematic review. A meta-analysis revealed an increased compression depth of 2.22 mm [95% CI (Confidence Interval), 0.88-3.55, P = 0.001] when participants performed CPR using the feedback devices. Besides, AVF devices enabled laypersons to deliver compression rates closer to the recommended range of 100-120 per min. No improvement was noted in chest recoil and hand positioning when participants used standalone AVF devices. CONCLUSION The quality of the included studies was variable, and different standalone AVF devices were used. Standalone AVF devices were instrumental in guiding laypersons to deliver deeper compressions without compromising the quality of compression rates. However, the devices did not improve the quality of chest recoil and placement of the hands. REGISTRATION PROSPERO: CRD42020205754.

Tele-Instruction Tool for Multiple Lay Responders Providing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in Telehealth Emergency Dispatch Services: Mixed Methods Study. J Med Internet Res 2023; 25:e46092. [PMID: 37494107 PMCID: PMC10413244 DOI: 10.2196/46092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Telephone-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) has proven to be a crucial intervention in enhancing the ability of lay responders to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during telehealth emergency services. While the majority of established T-CPR protocols primarily focus on guiding individual rescuers, there is a lack of emphasis on instructing and coordinating multiple lay responders to perform resuscitation collaboratively. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop an innovative team-based tele-instruction tool to efficiently organize and instruct multiple lay responders on the CPR process and to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the tool. METHODS We used a mixed methods design in this study. We conducted a randomized controlled simulation trial to conduct the quantitative analysis. The intervention groups used the team-based tele-instruction tool for team resuscitation, while the control groups did not have access to the tool. Baseline resuscitation was performed during the initial phase (phase I test). Subsequently, all teams watched a team-based CPR education training video and finished a 3-person practice session with teaching followed by a posttraining test (phase II test). In the qualitative analysis, we randomly selected an individual from each team and 4 experts in emergency medical services to conduct semistructured interviews. The purpose of these interviews was to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of this tool. RESULTS The team-based tele-instruction tool significantly improved the quality of chest compression in both phase I and phase II tests. The average compression rates were more appropriate in the intervention groups compared to the control groups (median 104.5, IQR 98.8-111.8 min-1 vs median 112, IQR 106-120.8 min-1; P=.04 in phase I and median 117.5, IQR 112.3-125 min-1 vs median 111, IQR 105.3-119 min-1; P=.03 in phase II). In the intervention group, there was a delay in the emergency response time compared to that in the control group (time to first chest compression: median 20, IQR 15-24.8 seconds vs median 25, IQR 20.5-40.3 seconds; P=.03; time to open the airway: median 48, IQR 36.3-62 seconds vs median 73.5, IQR 54.5-227.8 seconds; P=.01). However, this delay was partially mitigated after the phase II test. The qualitative results confirmed the compatibility and generalizability of the team-based tele-instruction tool, demonstrating its ability to effectively guide multiple lay responders through teamwork and effective communication with telecommunicators. CONCLUSIONS The use of the team-based tele-instruction tool offers an effective solution to enhance the quality of chest compression among multiple lay responders. This tool facilitated the organization of resuscitation teams by dispatchers and enabled efficient cooperation. Further assessment of the widespread adoption and practical application of the team-based tele-instruction tools in real-life rescue scenarios within the telehealth emergency services system is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluating the usefulness of a chat bot as an assistant during CPR care by laypersons. METHODS Twenty-one university graduates and university students naive in basic life support participated in this quasi-experimental simulation pilot trial. A version beta chatbot was designed to guide potential bystanders who need help in caring for cardiac arrest victims. Through a Question-Answering (Q&A) flowchart, the chatbot uses Voice Recognition Techniques to transform the user's audio into text. After the transformation, it generates the answer to provide the necessary help through machine and deep learning algorithms. A simulation test with a Laerdal Little Anne manikin was performed. Participants initiated the chatbot, which guided them through the recognition of a cardiac arrest event. After recognizing the cardiac arrest, the chatbot indicated the start of chest compressions for 2 min. Evaluation of the cardiac arrest recognition sequence was done via a checklist and the quality of CPR was collected with the Laerdal Instructor App. RESULTS 91% of participants were able to perform the entire sequence correctly. All participants checked the safety of the scene and made sure to call 112. 62% place their hands on the correct compression point. A media time of 158 s (IQR: 146-189) was needed for the whole process. 33% of participants achieved high-quality CPR with a median of 60% in QCPR (IQR: 9-86). Compression depth had a median of 42 mm (IQR: 33-53) and compression rate had a median of 100 compressions/min (IQR: 97-100). CONCLUSION The use of a voice assistant could be useful for people with no previous training to perform de out-of-hospital cardiac arrest recognition sequence. Chatbot was able to guide all participants to call 112 and to perform continuous chest compressions. The first version of the chatbot for potential bystanders naive in basic life support needs to be further developed to reduce response times and be more effective in giving feedback on chest compressions.

Abstract
Objective To design an innovative team-based cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) educational plan for multiple bystanders and evaluate whether it was associated with better teamwork and higher quality of resuscitation. Methods The team-based CPR plan defined the process for a three-person team, emphasize task allocation, leadership, and closed-loop communication. Participants qualified for single-rescuer CPR skills were randomized into teams of 3. The teamwork performance and CPR operation skills were evaluated in one simulated cardiac arrest scenario before and after training on the team-based CPR plan. The primary outcomes were measured by the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) scale and chest compression fraction (CCF). Results Forty-three teams were included in the analysis. The team-based CPR plan significantly improved the team performance (global rating 6.7 ± 1.3 vs. 9.0 ± 0.7, corrected p < 0.001 after Bonferroni's correction). After implementing the team-based CPR plan, CCF increased [median 59 (IQR 48–69) vs. 64 (IQR 57–71%)%, corrected p = 0.002], while hands-off time decreased [median 233.2 (IQR 181.0–264.0) vs. 207 (IQR 174–222.9) s, corrected p = 0.02]. We found the average compression depth was significantly improved through the team-based CPR training [median 5.1 (IQR 4.7–5.6) vs. 5.3 (IQR 4.9–5.5) cm, p = 0.03] but no more significantly after applying the Bonferroni's correction (corrected p = 0.35). The compression depths were significantly improved by collaborating and exchanging the role of compression among the participants after the 6th min. Conclusion The team-based CPR plan is feasible for improving bystanders teamwork performance and effective for improving resuscitation quality in prearrival care. We suggest a wide application of the team-based CPR plan in the educational program for better resuscitation performance in real rescue events.

Abstract
Objective To determine the effects of different resting methods with various rest-start points or rest-compression ratios on improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality and reducing fatigue during continuous chest compressions (CCC) in 10-min hands-only CPR scenario. Methods This prospective crossover study was conducted in 30 laypersons aged 18-65. Trained participants were randomized to follow different orders to perform following hands-only CPR methods: (1) CCC, 10-min CCC; (2) 4+6, 4-min CCC + 6-min of 10-s pause after 60-s compressions; (3) 2+8 (10/60), 2-min CCC + 8-min of 10-s pause after 60-s compressions; (4) 5/30, 2-min CCC + 8-min of 5-s pause after 30-s compressions; (5) 3/15, 2-min CCC + 8-min of 3-s pause after 15-s compressions. CPR quality (depth, rate, hands-off duration, chest compression fraction (CCF)) and participants’ fatigue indicators (heart rate, blood pressure, rating of perceived exertion (RPE)) were compared among methods of different rest-start points and different rest-compression ratios with CCC. Results Twenty-eight participants completed all methods. All resting methods reduced the trend of declining compression depth and the trend of increasing RPE while maintaining CCF of more than 86%. In methods with different rest-start points, the 2+8 method showed no difference in overall CPR quality or fatigue, but better CPR quality of every minute than 4+6 method. In methods with different rest-compression ratios, the 3/15 method showed the best CPR quality and the highest heart rate increment. Conclusion During prolonged hands-only CPR, appropriate transient rests were associated with higher CPR quality and lower subjectively perceived fatigue in laypersons.

Kim HJ, Kim JH, Park D. Comparing audio- and video-delivered instructions in dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation with drone-delivered automatic external defibrillator: a mixed methods simulation study. PeerJ 2021; 9:e11761. [PMID: 34316403 PMCID: PMC8286704 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.11761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
This study compared first responders' cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance when a dispatcher provides audio instructions only and when both audio and video instructions are given. In the simulation, an automatic external defibrillator (AED) was delivered via drone in response to a cardiac arrest occurring outside a hospital setting. Participants' qualitative experiences were also explored.An exploratory sequential mixed methods design was used. AEDs were delivered to college students via drone with one group receiving both audio and video instructions and the other receiving audio-only instruction, and differences in CPR performance and accuracy were compared. After completion, focus group interview data were collected and analyzed. Video-based instruction was found to be more effective in the number of chest compressions (p < 0.01), chest compression rate (p < 0.01), and chest compression interruptions (p < 0.01). The accuracy of the video group for the chest compression region was high (p = 0.05). Participants' experiences were divided into three categories: "unfamiliar but beneficial experience," "met helper during a desperate and embarrassing situation," and "diverse views on drone use." Our results lay the groundwork for a development plan for providing emergency medical services using drones, as well as the preparation of guidelines for dispatchers on the provision of video instructions.

Abstract
Advances in resuscitation following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) provide an opportunity to improve public health. This review reflects on past developments, present status, and future possibilities using the science-education-implementation framework of the Utstein Formula and the clinical framework of the links in the chain of survival. With the discovery of CPR and defibrillation in the mid 20th century, resuscitation developed a scientific construct for progress. Systems of emergency community response provided operational efficiency to treat OHCA. Contemporary resuscitation involves integrated interventions in the chain of survival: early recognition, early CPR, early defibrillation, expert and timely advanced life support and hospital care, and multidimensional rehabilitation. Implementation of scientific advances is especially challenging given the unexpected nature of OHCA, the need for time-sensitive interventions, and the substantial collective of stakeholders involved in the chain of survival. Systematic measurement provides the foundation to evaluate performance and guide implementation initiatives. For many systems, telecommunicator CPR and high-performance CPR by emergency professionals are accessible, near-term programs to improve OHCA outcome. Smart technologies that activate, coordinate, and/or coach community "volunteers" to accelerate early CPR and defibrillation have conceptual promise, though robust implementation has been achieved by only a handful of systems. Longer-term strategies may leverage technology to develop a high-fidelity "life-detector" or engineer and disseminate a specialized consumer defibrillator designed to bridge care until arrival of professional response.

Response Time Threshold for Predicting Outcomes of Patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. Emerg Med Int 2021; 2021:5564885. [PMID: 33628510 PMCID: PMC7892213 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5564885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2021] [Revised: 01/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Ambulance response time is a prognostic factor for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but the impact of ambulance response time under different situations remains unclear. We evaluated the threshold of ambulance response time for predicting survival to hospital discharge for patients with OHCA. A retrospective observational analysis was conducted using the emergency medical service (EMS) database (January 2015 to December 2019). Prehospital factors, underlying diseases, and OHCA outcomes were assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis with Youden Index was performed to calculate optimal cut-off values for ambulance response time that predicted survival to hospital discharge. In all, 6742 cases of adult OHCA were analyzed. After adjustment for confounding factors, age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.983, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.975-0.992, p < 0.001), witness (OR = 3.022, 95% CI: 2.014-4.534, p < 0.001), public location (OR = 2.797, 95% CI: 2.062-3.793, p < 0.001), bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR, OR = 1.363, 95% CI: 1.009-1.841, p=0.044), EMT-paramedic response (EMT-P, OR = 1.713, 95% CI: 1.282-2.290, p < 0.001), and prehospital defibrillation using an automated external defibrillator ([AED] OR = 3.984, 95% CI: 2.920-5.435, p < 0.001) were statistically and significantly associated with survival to hospital discharge. The cut-off value was 6.2 min. If the location of OHCA was a public place or bystander CPR was provided, the threshold was prolonged to 7.2 min and 6.3 min, respectively. In the absence of a witness, EMT-P, or AED, the threshold was reduced to 4.2, 5, and 5 min, respectively. The adjusted OR of EMS response time for survival to hospital discharge was 1.217 (per minute shorter, CI: 1.140-1299, p < 0.001) and 1.992 (<6.2 min, 95% CI: 1.496-2.653, p < 0.001). The optimal response time threshold for survival to hospital discharge was 6.2 min. In the case of OHCA in public areas or with bystander CPR, the threshold was prolonged, and without witness, the optimal response time threshold was shortened.
