NCT ID NCT07546474
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using a video call (telemedicine) to guide bystanders in CPR is better than standard phone-only instructions. Researchers studied 108 adults with suspected cardiac arrest in Bangkok, Thailand. The goal was to see if video help leads to more people receiving CPR before emergency services arrive.
