In fact, 4000 paramedics in total were not only trained in the study protocol but also given a rigorous evaluation of their ability to perform CPR. On the topic of EMS and similar to the pilot study, there was an incredibly high amount of bystander CPR performed. Thus limiting the external validity of this paper’s findings.
