Development of Experience-Based Learning Support System for Realization of Exact Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract

Sick people may suffer from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in daily life, e.g., at home or around the town; symptoms can be observed anywhere, and it is very important to improve the survival rate by ensuring that bystanders can perform CPR and use AEDs. Therefore, currently, various groups, including fire stations and medical institutions, are AEDs and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which is performed to a lesser extent in Japan than in Europe and the United States. A system that can help students to study CPR that can performed at home and in educational institutions is proposed. The proposed system is based on a game in which a pressure sensor is used. An experiment performed to evaluate the developed system revealed the advantages and utility of the system.
