Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: HypoxiaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The reduced oxygen breathing device will be set to deliver a gas mixture with15% oxygen. (Equivalent to the partial pressure of oxygen at 2,438 meters.) The subject will perform CPR while breathing through mask and tubing that is connected to the device.
Group II: Room AirActive Control1 Intervention
The reduced oxygen breathing device will be set to deliver room air. (i.e., no oxygen is removed from the gas mixture. The subject will perform CPR while breathing through mask and tubing that is connected to the device.
