P150 EVALUATION OF CPR TRAINING BY A COHPVTER PROGRAM “. JOST, T. SENZLER. Ii. WIENEKE. K. DANIEL Zentrum

We have developed a computer program which enables us to register and to evaluate large amounts of data obtained during the performance of CPR on a commercial manekin. This program is written in assembler and obtains the data from the skillmeter interface of the Laerdal manekin Anne. It runs on MS/DOS and registers each action of the helper in absolute values. The analysis and evaluation of the given results may be done according to the Standards of the American Heart Association or of the European Resuscitation Councxl. THUS we are able to store a large amo"nt of data on CPR training over longer periods. This allows us to do follow up analysis of training effects. We studied four groups of

medical, paramedical and non-medical professions. months a loss of skillness was noticed even in a group of anaesthesiologist I" training. Never the le** one year later all groups showed better results than before the training. In another study the quality of the CPR performed by 10 sports students was correlated to the extend of physical effort. Details will be presented. Further more we have used the system described above to evaluate the res"lts of CPR during water rescue compet~tlons. AS CPR was a compul~ary part of the com~et~ons young participants aged 12-24 years had trained CPR Intensively. The data of 2233 boys and girls were obtained and analysed. The results clearly show that eYe" I" the age Of 12-14 years boys and girls are able to train and performe CPR correctly. After
