Abstract

Resuscitation is a very rare event in seafaring. On ships without a ship's doctor, the master is responsible for the treatment of the sick and must be trained on the main points of resuscitation. Real-time feedback resuscitation is an essential component of this and simplifies the sufficiency of evidence-based resuscitation treatment. In the treatment case described, crew members performed a sufficiency real-time feedback resuscitation using the real-time feedback system were present in 88.3% of the resuscitation treatment of thoracic compressions. 12% of compression breaks were < 5 seconds. 65% of the thoracic compressions were in the target range of 5 cm. In 80.91%, the frequency of compressions was above the target area of 100 rpm. After successful resuscitation treatment of 7 minutes, a medical disembarkation of a mainsail ship was disembarked to the ground-based rescue service.
