Paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is the reason for an emergency call in approximately 8/100,000 person-years. Improvement of OHCA resuscitation needs a quality chain of survival and a rapid start of resuscitation. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two resuscitation techniques provided on a mannequin, the two-fingers technique (TFT) and the two-thumbs encircling hand technique (TTHT), explained by a trained emergency call responder on the phone in a population of non-health professionals.We conducted a randomised crossover study in the simulation lab of a University Hospital. The participants included in the study were non-health professional volunteers of legal age. The participants were assigned (1:1 ratio) to two groups: group A: TFT then TTHT, group B: TTHT then TFT. Scenario and techniques were discovered during the evaluation.Thirty-five volunteers were randomised before the sessions and 33 ultimately came to the simulation lab. We found a better median QCPR global score during TTHT sessions than during TFT sessions (74 vs. 59, P = 0.046). Linear mixed models showed that the TTHT method was the only variable associated with a better QCPR global score [model 1: β = 14.3; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.4-26.2; model 2: β = 14.5; 95% CI, 2.5-26.6].Our study showed the superiority of TTHT for infant CPR performed by non-health professionals when an emergency call responder advised them over the phone. It seemed to be the best technique for a solo rescuer regardless of previous training. |
