The important results obtained in the doctoral thesis of Francisca Segura, published in prestigious journals of international impact, have allowed to positively evaluate the effect of telemedicine using Google Glass to reduce the start time of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CSR) and improve ventilations on the patient

The doctoral thesis of Francisca Segura Melgarejo, directed by doctors Manuel Pardo Ríos and Nuria Pérez Alonso, from the Faculty of Nursing of the UCAM, has obtained important results in the quality of CPR in adults through the use of Google Glass, improve the assistance in respiratory arrest, increase the survival rate and decrease the neurological sequelae.

This formula of guided instruction managed to reduce the time for the start of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by 83%, improve ventilations in the patient avoiding possible forgetfulness, and prioritizing the rescue in 72% of cases, all in a hospitalization scenario in the Simulation Rooms of the University, where the emergency team has followed the instructions of experts through the Google Glass, as it has collected the first of the articles that make up the doctoral thesis of Nuria Pérez.

This study has evaluated the effect of telemedicine using Google Glass in CPR, to connect the participants in the scene where the victim is with experts, through this technology that makes it possible to give the indications through the resources of image and sound .

Another of the innovations that the doctor includes in this doctoral thesis is the study of the relationship of physical fatigue of emergency personnel with regard to decision making, from which it has been proved that, after two minutes of resuscitation, no they contemplated changes of precision in mental fatigue, this time being the maximum allowed to a specialist to intervene on the patient since it does affect the physical fatigue of the nursing healthcare professional.

From these results, published in journals indexed in JCR, two of the largest resuscitation associations in Spain, SEMES and SEMICYUC have come together to determine the most important parameters when evaluating a good resuscitation, such as the adequate amount of compressions (100-120 compressions per minute), as well as non-technical skills such as team coordination or the use of adrenaline at the key moment.

All this has been collected by the new doctor in the design and validation of a tool for assessing the quality of CPR (SIEVCA-CPR 2.0) universal, which is already being implemented in training centers as a common method of evaluation of students .
