Brief Summary:
The objective of the Lowlands Saves Lives trial is to compare the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) between face-to-face versus Lifesaver Virtual Reality smartphone application trained participants using a randomized controlled trial.
Detailed Description:
In order to optimize survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, basic life support (BLS) training of lay-person volunteers is essential. Face-to-face training has long been considered the standard, but new training-methods have emerged, of which the Lifesaver VR (developed by the UK Resuscitation Council) app seems promising. It is unknown which training method results in the highest quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Therefore, we conduct this randomized controlled trial in which subjects will be randomized to either one of the two training methods. Following the training, all participants will undergo CPR-quality testing using certified manikins and blinded assessors.
The present study will be conducted during Lowlands Science, a section of the Lowlands music festival exclusively dedicated to science. Lowlands will be held on August 16-18 of 2019 and over 50.000 attendees are expected.
