Table 2 Chest compressions initiated and time until chest compressions were initiated. Results of logistic regression as odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) is shown. Time until chest compressions initiated were analyzed using Wilcoxon rank sum test presented with a P-value
Chest compressions initiated | Yes (N (%)) | CI (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Caller emotionally stressed | 162 (76.8%) | 2.18 (0.80–7.64) | |
Caller not emotionally stressed | 328 (73.9%) | Ref. | |
Median times until OHCA recognized, CPR instructions initiated and chest compressions initiated | |||
Median time until (seconds): | Caller emotionally stressed (sec.) | Caller not emotionally stressed (sec.) | P-Value |
CA recognized | 73 | 74 | P = 0.641 |
CPR instructions initiated | 112 | 119 | P = 0.453 |
Chest compressions initiated | 164 | 146 | P = 0.145 |
