A standard manikin Resusci Anne (Laerdal®, Stavanger, Norway) was used for the practice and for results measurement. Data were obtained from the CPR Resusci Anne Skill Reporter (Laerdal®, Stavanger, Norway) meter, already employed in similar studies [13 (link),14 (link),15 (link)]. The system was programmed using the CPR parameters proposed by the ERC in 2015: 50–60 mm depth of compression, 100–120 compressions per minute of frequency, and 500–600 cm3 of inspiratory volume [1 (link)]. The information provided by the meter was not shown to the participants during the evaluation. The obtained data were used to create an individual report of CPR of each participant. In addition, the exertion applied by the participants was analysed after their performance by means of the Borg rating of perceived exertion scale (RPE scale) [16 (link)].
Resusci anne
Resusci Anne is a high-quality manikin designed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. It provides a realistic simulation of human anatomy and physiological responses to aid in the development of essential lifesaving skills.

Evaluating CPR Knowledge and Skills
A standard manikin Resusci Anne (Laerdal®, Stavanger, Norway) was used for the practice and for results measurement.

Evaluating BLS Competence with Manikins
Standardized BLS Manikin Resuscitation Training
The participant was asked to enter a room in which a BLS manikin was lying on the floor with a zippered jacket covering the torso. No information about the scenario was provided in advance. The standardized text was read by the course instructor: “Imagine you are witnessing a person collapsing right in front of you. The manikin represents this person. There is no one else nearby. Please take all measures you would take if the manikin was a real person. Keep going until you receive a signal to stop.”
Simulated Cardiac Arrest ALS Training
The simulated scenario was a witnessed cardiac arrest at the ward of a large district hospital. The resuscitation team was summoned by a ward nurse and had immediate access to standard ALS equipment. The task of the resuscitation team was to apply ALS that adhered to the 2010 ERC guidelines until the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) [27 (link)]. In cases of successful application of the algorithm, the instructor ended the simulation after the fourth defibrillation. If a team failed to defibrillate the patient four times within 15 min, the instructor was obligated to end the simulation. At the end of the tutorial the students were asked to complete a questionnaire with demographic data.
Standardized CPR Training Protocol
Pair-based Simulation-based CPR Training
For data collection, four identical patient rooms on a simulated general hospital ward were equipped with a CPR-training manikin (Resusci Anne, Laerdal Medical GmbH, Puchheim) in a cardiac arrest scenario. The participants had access to a standardized set of drugs, airway management tools and a defibrillator. The time from entering the room, to first contact, to assessment and initiation of CPR was documented accordingly using video recording. The evaluation of the video documentation concerning specific time points was performed by an external person having not participated in teaching or data analysis using a checklist based evaluation protocol. The manikin data was collected by Laerdal PC SkillReporting System (Fa. Laerdal Medical GmbH, Puchheim). Each scenario and video-documentation lasted for 5 minutes.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
