| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Theoretical-Practical Competence Level in Basic Life Support (BLS) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) After Training | Immediately after training (same day as training) | Composite competence score (range 0-10; higher scores indicate better competence), calculated as the mean of three components, each expressed on a 0-10 scale: (1) final theoretical test (10 multiple-choice questions from the Catalan Resuscitation Council); (2) overall CPR quality recorded by the Resusci Anne QCPR manikin with SkillReporter software (mean of the four 2-minute cycles of the 8-minute simulation); and (3) practical BLS and AED skills rated by the instructor with the CORVAL rubric. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Primary | Retention of Theoretical-Practical Competence in BLS and AED | 4 months after training | Same composite competence score (range 0-10; higher scores indicate better competence) obtained by repeating the theoretical test and the simulated practical assessment 4 months after training. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Theoretical Knowledge of the BLS and AED Algorithm | Immediately after training and 4 months after training | Score on the final theoretical test of 10 multiple-choice questions from the Catalan Resuscitation Council (one point per correct answer; range 0-10; higher scores indicate better knowledge). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Overall CPR Quality Score Recorded by SkillReporter Software | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Overall CPR performance score (percentage, range 0-100%; higher values indicate better quality) calculated by the SkillReporter software from the Resusci Anne QCPR manikin, based on chest compression quality and, in the control group, rescue breath quality. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Chest Compression Quality | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Percentage of correctly performed chest compressions (range 0-100%) recorded by the SkillReporter software, based on compression depth, compression rate, full chest recoil, number of compressions and hand position. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Practical BLS and AED Skills | Immediately after training and 4 months after training | Score on the CORVAL practical assessment rubric completed by the instructor (items rated 0, 1 or 2; total transformed to a 0-10 scale; higher scores indicate better performance). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Change in Muscular Fatigue Measured With a Dynamometer From Before to After the 8-Minute Simulated CPR | Immediately before and immediately after the 8-minute simulated CPR on the day of training | Decrease in the functional capacity of the specific muscle groups involved in CPR (protocol variable V6), measured with a dynamometer with recording software: sustained 20-second contraction of a hand-held pneumatic bulb. The software records the force curve in real time (not visible to the participant) to identify a decrease in force, neuromuscular irregularities and changes in the stability of the effort. The test is performed before and after the simulation to compare the participant's muscular state. Reported as the change from the value before the simulation (baseline) to the value after the simulation. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Change in Heart Rate From Before to After the 8-Minute Simulated CPR | Before the simulation, continuously throughout the simulated CPR, and immediately after the simulation on the day of training | Heart rate (beats per minute) measured with an arm heart rate monitor and a blood pressure monitor. Reported as the change from the value before the simulation (baseline) to the value after the simulation. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Change in Systolic, Diastolic and Mean Arterial Blood Pressure From Before to After the 8-Minute Simulated CPR | Before and within 60 seconds after the 8-minute simulated CPR on the day of training | Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure (mmHg) measured with a validated blood pressure monitor, at rest in a seated position before the simulation and within 60 seconds after finishing CPR, using the same arm, device and cuff size. Reported as the change from the value before the simulation (baseline) to the value after the simulation. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Change in Perceived Exertion Measured With the Modified Borg Scale From Before to After the 8-Minute Simulated CPR | Immediately before and immediately after the 8-minute simulated CPR on the day of training | Perceived physical exertion measured with the modified Borg scale (range 0-10; higher scores indicate greater perceived exertion). Reported as the change from the value before the simulation (baseline) to the value after the simulation. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Participant Satisfaction With the Training Measured With a Likert-Scale Satisfaction Survey | After the 8-minute simulated CPR on the day of training | Satisfaction with the content, methodology, organisation and perceived usefulness of the training, measured with a satisfaction survey using a Likert scale (range 0-5; 0 = very dissatisfied, 5 = very satisfied). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Self-Perceived Knowledge of BLS and AED Measured With an Ad Hoc Questionnaire | Before training, after the 8-minute simulated CPR on the day of training, and 4 months after training | Self-perceived knowledge of BLS and AED measured with an ad hoc questionnaire (range 0-10; 0 = none, 10 = excellent). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Duration of CPR per Cycle | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Duration of CPR in each cycle (minutes), recorded by the SkillReporter software. In this study, this variable is constant: 2 minutes per cycle (protocol variable V2.4). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Correct Hand Position During Chest Compressions | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Percentage of chest compressions with correct hand position in the centre of the chest (range 0-100%), recorded by the SkillReporter software (protocol variable V2.7). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Mean Chest Compression Depth | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Mean depth of all chest compressions (mm), recorded by the SkillReporter software (protocol variable V2.9). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Chest Compressions With Full Chest Recoil | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Percentage of chest compressions with full chest recoil (range 0-100%), recorded by the SkillReporter software (protocol variable V2.10). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Chest Compressions With Adequate Depth | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Percentage of chest compressions with adequate depth of 5-6 cm (range 0-100%), recorded by the SkillReporter software (protocol variable V2.11). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Chest Compressions at Correct Rate | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Percentage of chest compressions performed at a correct rate of 100-120 compressions per minute (range 0-100%), recorded by the SkillReporter software (protocol variable V2.12). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Chest Compression Rate | At 2, 4, 6 and 8 minutes of the simulated CPR immediately after training, and 4 months after training | Number of chest compressions per minute, recorded by the SkillReporter software (protocol variable V2.13). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants Competent in BLS and AED (Competence Level of 7 or Higher Out of 10) | Immediately after training and 4 months after training | Proportion of participants demonstrating an adequate level of competence in performing the BLS and AED algorithm (yes/no), determined from the competence level (protocol variable V4): participants with a competence level of 7 or higher out of 10 are considered competent (protocol variable V5). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
