First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether improved telephone instructions for CPR can reduce the time without chest compressions when using an AED. About 80 volunteers will act as single rescuers in a simulated cardiac arrest. Half will get standard phone CPR guidance, and half will get enhanced instructions that focus on minimizing interruptions and optimizing AED use. The goal is to see if the new instructions lead to more continuous chest compressions and faster defibrillation.
