Smartwatch feedback device for high-quality chest compressions by a single rescuer during infant cardiac arrest: a randomized, controlled simulation study

Abstract

Rescuers who receive feedback of CC parameters from a smartwatch could perform adequate CC during infant CPR.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives License 4.0 (CCBY-NC-ND), where it is permissible to download and share the work provided it is properly cited.

Effect of smart devices on the quality of CPR training: A systematic review

“…9,10,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Study characteristics Table 1shows the characteristics of the selected studies. The studies included five RCTs (45%), 9,16,19,22,23 five RCOTs (45%), 10,15,18,20,21 and an RT (9%). 17 Eight of 11 studies (73%) used smartphones 9,10,15-20 and 3 studies (27%) [21][22][23] used smartwatches for their CPR training intervention.…”

All selected studies were written in English, although the literature search language selection included both English and Korean.…”

“…All eleven studies (100%) were rated as 'low' for this domain as outcomes were evaluated with the use of manikins designed to measure CPR compression quality in accordance with pre-existing protocols. 9,10,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Fifth, 'bias in section of the reported results' was evaluated. Five RCOTs were rated as 'of some concern' in this domain since there was not enough information on how potential carry-over effects were addressed.…”

“…9,10 The studies by Chan et al, Park, and Gruenerbl et al used 5 cycles of CPR at a 30:2 compression-ventilation ratio as well, but without actual mouth breathing. 16,17,21 The remaining studies used chest compression without ventilation for a total of 2 min 15,17,19,22,23 or 4 min. 18 In all studies, the outcomes recorded by the training manikins were linked to computer programs after the CPR training sessions.…”

“…There have been various studies conducted to show the usefulness of smart devices as CPR feedback devices, but the results have been conflicting thus far. 9,10,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] This systematic review aimed to examine randomised trials to determine if smart devices used during CPR training could improve the quality of CPR. Additionally, we investigated what type of smart device, phone or watch, was more effective at improving CPR quality.…”
