Results of the Qualitative Semistructured Interviews
OHCA
EVENT
When inquired about teamwork, most responses were positive, particularly regarding team cooperation.When I felt tired, my teammates would take over chest compression, which significantly improved the efficacy.We had good coordination. When one person was pressing, the others could communicate with the telecommunicator, so that the telecommunicator could adjust the instructions according to the situation timely.In addition, team-based instructions were widely recognized. Participants described the protocol as “understandable,” “precise,” and “efficient.” The beneficial effects of instruction on team cooperation were widely acknowledged.The instructions helped us form a well-organized team, which is a process that would take a long time without the telecommunicator involved.The experts also spoke highly of the protocol. The advantages of task allocation and closed-loop communication protocols were recognized during the simulation.The protocol is in strict compliance with the AHA guidelines and can play a good instructing role on the event of OHCA. It allows multiple lay responders to have a clear division of labor and help each other as a team, which is important for providing high-quality CPR.However, there was little feedback on the shortcomings of the protocol, which included a high demand for the telecommunicator and the requirement for more detailed instructions during the process of switching to the chest compression implementer.
