Official title

Evaluating Length and Depth Estimation Accuracy

Overview

The objective of the study is to measure accurateness of length and depth estimation of laypersons and health-care providers.

Detailed description

The study hypothesis is that both laypersons and health-care providers will have difficulty estimating length and depth. The study will enroll 100 laypersons and 100 health-care providers. The participants will be asked to draw a 5cm line without assistance an estimate 5cm depth to measure accurateness of length and depth estimation.

Interventions

  • Other Laypersons
    1. Participants will be asked to draw a 5cm line. 2. Participants will be asked to press a depth measuring device and resuscitation training manikin to depth of 5cm without and with assistance.
  • Other Health-Care Providers
    1. Participants will be asked to draw a 5cm line. 2. Participants will be asked to press a depth measuring device and resuscitation training manikin to depth of 5cm without and with assistance.

Primary outcome measures

  • Depth estimation [Time frame: Measurement immediately after registration on the day of arrival at the study site (protocol will take less than 5 minutes to complete)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Length estimation [Time frame: Measurement immediately after registration on the day of arrival at the study site (protocol will take less than 5 minutes to complete)]
  • Depth estimation with assistance [Time frame: Measurement immediately after registration on the day of arrival at the study site (protocol will take less than 5 minutes to complete)]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Laypersons: adult laypersons without cardiopulmonary resuscitation training within 2 years
  • Health-care providers: adult health-care providers (doctors, nurses and emergency medical technicians)

Exclusion criteria

  • Laypersons: laypersons with cardiopulmonary resuscitation training within 2 years.
  • Health-care providers: health-care providers who are inactive (not currently working at medical facilities)

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
