Summary
Despite aggressive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, the outcome of cardiac arrest is not good. The problem is method of education. So, the investigators want to add the dispatcher-assisted CPR simulation into conventional CPR training. In this study, the study is aimed to investigate the effect of newer CPR training program.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- All out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with presumed cardiac etiology who are 19 years of age or older and assessed and treated by EMS providers after dispatched by the EMS dispatch center will be included.
Exclusion Criteria
