Overview

Exploratory trial finds varying feedback methods impact ventilation quality in ambulance clinicians, suggesting implications for training.

Key Points

  • This study aims to compare the effects of different ventilation feedback approaches on ambulance clinicians' ventilation quality during simulated CPR.
  • Conducted a single-site, exploratory, randomised controlled trial.
  • Involved ambulance clinicians completing six-minute CPR scenarios over six months.
  • Participants were randomised into three groups: regular VFD use, single episode VFD use, and no VFD (control).
  • The group using the VFD consistently showed better ventilation quality than the control group.
  • Ventilation quality declined significantly in the group that only received feedback during the first session.
  • VFD use led to fewer instances of both hyperventilation and hypoventilation.
