Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators sought to evaluate the influence of fatigue after a night shift on the quality of Chest Compressions (CC) in CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), among physicians.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Cardiac Arrest	Other: CPR	N/A

Detailed Description

This is a non inferiority cluster randomized trial on three Emergency Departments (ED) and five Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from three urban academic hospital in Paris, France. The investigators evaluated the quality of CC with a low-fidelity manikin and its electronic feedback device. The investigators tested subjects on a 6-minutes CC-only CPR scenario, including 2 minutes of pause. Physicians were tested either on a control day then after a night shift, or after a night shift then on a control day.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment
Other: Control The investigators measure quality of chest compressions before nightshift. Control group	Other: CPR; Simulated cardiac arrest on a manikin Chest Compression CPR for 6 minutes
Other: OFF The investigators measure quality of chest compressions before nightshift. After night shift group	Other: CPR; Simulated cardiac arrest on a manikin Chest Compression CPR for 6 minutes

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. the proportion of CC with a depth higher than 50mm [2 minutes of chest compressions]

   The investigators evaluated the quality of CC with a low-fidelity manikin and its electronic feedback device.

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Number of chest compressions [2 minutes]

   The investigators evaluated the quality of CC with a low-fidelity manikin and its electronic feedback device.

Other Outcome Measures

1. Factors associated with better chest compressions (CC) [2 minutes]

   The investigators assessed factors associated with better chest compressions as : age, sex and fatigue of physician and intensity of the nightshift.
