Fig. 1 Participant flowchart. Two participants were excluded from analysis because the manikin failed recording CPR quality data. Despite confirming eligibility for study participation before enrolment, one participant was excluded due to violation of CPR training exclusion criteria.

Fig. 2 Overall score for dispatcher assisted CPR. Overall score for each participant guided with the novel protocol (grey) and the standard protocol (black). Mean score for the novel protocol was 18.6 points (1.4 points) vs. 17.5 points (1.7 points) for the standard protocol (p<0.001).

Fig. 3 Chest compression quality during dispatcher assisted CPR. Changes in chest compression depth (A), chest compression rate (B) and hand position (C) during CPR for participants guided with the novel protocol (grey) and participants guided with the standard protocol (black). A and B: Results are presented as mean±standard error of the mean for illustration purposes. Dashed lines indicate ERC Guidelines for resuscitation 2010.
