Implementation of high-performance CPR by basic life support (BLS) personnel: a pilot study in Thailand.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-performance cardiopulmonary resuscitation (HP-CPR) is a structured, pit-crew-style resuscitation model that has been shown to improve performance in advanced life support (ALS) systems. However, its applicability in volunteer-based basic life support (BLS) settings remains uncertain. This study aimed to describe the implementation of HP-CPR training for BLS personnel in Bangkok, Thailand, and to evaluate its impact on BLS performance using video-based process indicators, as well as to report patient- and system-level characteristics before and after the intervention.

Methods

We conducted a single-centre, before-and-after study of adults with non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) managed by the Siriraj EMS Centre between July 2022 and January 202
