Measuring how well people estimate lengths and depths in CPR scenarios

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of length and depth estimations made by both laypersons and healthcare providers in the context of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A total of 200 participants, consisting of 100 laypersons without recent CPR training and 100 active healthcare providers, will be recruited. Participants will be tasked with drawing a 5cm line and estimating a 5cm depth to assess their estimation skills. The hypothesis is that both groups will struggle with these estimations, highlighting potential gaps in training and awareness.
