Team-Based Tele-Instruction Tool for T-CPR
CARDIAC ARREST
In cooperation with a Chinese company specializing in dispatch systems, we innovatively designed a team-based tele-instruction protocol and developed a test tool for the medical dispatch system; however, it is currently used only for research purposes. If the response to the question “Can you find other people to help you?” was answered as “Yes,” the system would link to the team-based tele-instruction protocol.The protocol was applied to resuscitation teams of three or more lay responders, and the medical emergency response process was divided into 2 parts: pre-CPR instructions and team-based CPR instructions. The pre-CPR instructions included information registration, identification of cardiac arrest, and evaluation of lay responders’ CPR skills. Team-based CPR instructions included chest compressions, mouth-to-mouth ventilation, automated external defibrillator (AED) support, and continuous encouragement (Team-based tele-instruction protocol.
