Outline of Final Research Achievements

The validation study has shown that the evaluation quality of the evaluator improves by using the motion capture camera and voice assistance quality evaluation system of chest compressions.
The first randomized controlled trial has shown that music is useful for acquiring high-quality chest compressions. In this study it was indicated that the ideal tempo of music would be a rhythm of 112 / min and the 8 beat music would be effective. The second randomized controlled trial based on the above results showed that educational methods using music and voice assistance are highly effective in acquiring high quality chest compressions. It was shown that music effect is high for maintaining educational effect. Some Popular number with a rhythm of 112 / min and the 8 beat which lyrics was modified into educational content result helped to stimulate interest and implementation high quality chest compressions to the public.
