Higher resuscitation guideline adherence in paramedics with use of real-time ventilation feedback during simulated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate whether real-time ventilation feedback would improve provider adherence to ventilation guidelines.

Design

Non-blinded randomised controlled simulation trial.

Setting

One Emergency Medical Service trust in Copenhagen.

Participants

32 ambulance crews consisting of 64 on-duty basic or advanced life support paramedics from Copenhagen Emergency Medical Service.

Intervention

Participant exposure to real-time ventilation feedback during simulated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Main outcome measures

The primary outcome was ventilation quality, defined as ventilation guideline-adherence to ventilation rate (8-10 bpm) and tidal volume (500-600 ml) delivered simultaneously.

Results

The intervention group performed ventilatio
