Popis: Aim:Technology has enabled the utilization of dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) through mobile video call for layman bystanders as opposed to the conventional audio call. This study aimed to examine the effects of medical guidance through a video call on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality during the management of cardiac arrest.Materials and Methods:A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 102 participants. These participants were divided into two groups: laymen who received CPR instructions through dispatcher-assisted video call (n=51) and healthcare personnel (n=51) who did not receive any assistance. The compression rate and depth, compression fraction, chest recoil, and hand positioning were compared between the groups.Results:Laymen who received video call DA-CPR performed better than the healthcare personnel in adhering to the recommended compression rate (109.7 min-1 vs 126.7 min-1, p
