Abstract
Introduction: Early recognition of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and initiation of high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by laypersons before emergency medical services (EMS) arrive are key determinants of OHCA survival. Emergency medical dispatcher driven telephone-CPR (T-CPR) can increase initiation and quality of bystander CPR. It remains unclear, whether compression-only or standard CPR is recommended for T-CPR. The aim of this prospective, randomized study was to evaluate both principles of T-CPR with respect on compliance with actual guidelines.
