Abstract
Time is an important factor in several phases of cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, e.g. external chest compressions, medicine-administration and defibrillation. When performing CPR it is difficult to maintain a good perception of time and this may have negative consequences for patient survival. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the staff's perception of time was intact during CPR.
