Ventilation Feedback in EMS Resuscitation (ventilation during CPR)

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

In this simulation study, EMS responders perform rescue breathing during CPR for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest while being shown real-time feedback about ventilation performance. The trial compares two CPR strategies—ventilation during pauses versus continuous chest compressions—to see if feedback effects differ. Primary questions are whether feedback improves adherence to target ventilation volumes and whether the chosen CPR approach influences this effect. The study uses a randomized design with real-time visualization as the intervention. Real-world patient outcomes are not measured, as this is a simulation evaluating performance and training implications.
