Summary

This study looks at which tool helps untrained bystanders start CPR faster during a simulated cardiac arrest. 150 adults aged 18-70 who have taken a first aid course in the last 10 years will be randomly assigned to use a paper guide, a first aid app, or a feedback device (CorPatch®) that gives real-time tips on chest compressions. The main goal is to see how quickly they achieve good blood flow, and the results will help improve public CPR training.
