Video-assisted Telephone CPR With the EmergencyEye-Software - a Pilot Study

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-08-28
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Technical advance as broad-bandwidth wireless internet coverage and the ubiquity utilization of smartphones has opened up new possibilities which surpass the normal audio-only telephony. High quality and real-time video-telephony is now feasible. However until now this technology hasn't been deployed in the emergency respond service.

In the hope of helping the detection of the cardiac arrest, offer the possibility to evaluate and correct via a video-instructed CPR (V-CPR) and to facilitate a fast localization of the emergency site, a new software (EmergencyEye®/RAMSES®) was developed which enables the dispatcher a video-telephony with the callers mobile terminal (smartphone) if suitable.

This technology hasn't been tested in a randomized controlled trail yet and no data exists that shows if V-CPR in comparison to T-CPR and non-instructed CPR leads to a better bystander CPR-performance.
