Can Mobile Videocall Assist Laypersons' Use of Automated External Defibrillators? A Randomized Simulation Study and Qualitative Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the feasibility of mobile videocall guidance to facilitate AED use by laypersons. Design, setting, and participants. A total of 90 laypersons were randomized into three groups: the mobile video call-guided, voice call-guided, and non-guided groups. Participants were exposed to simulated cardiac arrest to use an AED, and guided by video calls, voice calls, or were not guided. We recorded the simulation experiments as a videoclip, and other researchers who were blinded to the simulation assessed the performance according to the prespecified checklist after simulations. Outcomes measure and analysis. We compared the performance score and time intervals from AED arrival to defibrillation among the three groups and analyzed the common errors.
