Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Currently, no system completely evaluates the quality of cardio pulmonary resusciation. METHODS: A cross-sectional, prospective, longitudinal study using Delphi methodology was performed in three phases: preparatory, consultation and consensus. The validation was made by a prospective longitudinal study using the tool in the evaluation of 11 videos to determine the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and the intra-subject (ICC-Initial), the latter repeated at four weeks (ICC-Final). We have determined intra-subject ICC: Initial-Final. This last result has been compared with a gold-standard value. RESULTS: After the first phase, a 28-items list has been developed. In the second phase: ICC-Initial = 0.727 (p < .001), 95% CI (0.625, 0.801), ICC-Final = 0.860 (p < .001), 95% CI (0.807; 0.898) and ICC Initial-Final = 0.880 (p < .001), 95% CI (0.835; 0.913). Finally, an online tool has been developed (SIEVCA 2.0). CONCLUSION: The designed tool presents good reliability in the assessment of cardio pulmonary resuscitation and it is useful in different fields and scenarios.
