Additional files

Additional file 1:

Standardized Resuscitation Scenario Script. the file contains the scenario script and can be imported with the simulator software. A direct import by the MÜSE software is not supported. However, translation of the script into this platform should be possible but was not tested by the authors. In such a case, the macro (file 2) has to be adapted to the MÜSE log files

Additional file 2:

Logfile-Macro. the file contains a visual-basic macro that extracts the performance variables from the log files that are produced during the scenaios by the simulator software. It is obligatory to use the CPRscript for the resuscitation scenarios.
