The purpose of this study was to find more effective method through comparison of manual chest compression and chest compression using AutoPulseTM device in pre-hospital simulation cardiac arrest. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, ambulance workers did two different style CPR in pre-hospital simulation cardiac arrest. Data analyzed by T test and ANOVA. Findings of this study are as follows. Firstly, manual chest compression is more effective than chest compression using AutoPulseTM device on scene. Secondly, chest compression using AutoPulseTM device is more effective manual chest compression in ambulance and in elevator. In conclusion, these findings provide strong evidence for the importance of hands off time and stable CPR before hospital arrival in explaining patient’s prognosis. Therefore, strategies to conduct precise hands off time and stable CPR are needed to improve patient’s prognosis,
