Feedback, Low Dose, High Frequency, RQI-Based
RCT comparing the clinical effectiveness of conventional instructor-facilitated cardiac compression training to technology enhanced training using high-fidelity mannequins – A pilot study
While effective chest compressions are the foundation of resuscitation efforts and significantly positively influence outcomes, the quality of compressions provided by healthcare providers is poor. International consensus is to provide ...

Simulation training to improve 9-1-1 dispatcher identification of cardiac arrest: A randomized controlled trial
Study demonstrates that repeated simulation training improves call processing skills and reduces time to T-CPR in simulated call scenarios, and may improve the recognition of the need for T-CPR in ...
Deliberate Practice, Feedback, Low Dose, High Frequency
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation retention training for hospital nurses by a self-learner skills station or the traditional instructor led course: A randomised controlled trial
Study demonstrates that skills stations providing feedback are a feasible tool for required frequent retraining and retraining when compared to instructor-led formats. CPR skills performance for hospital nurses using a ...
Effect of Audiovisual Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Feedback Device on Improving Chest Compression Quality
Study demonstrates that real-time feedback devices with auditory and visual components help physicians and nurses in improving the quality of chest compressions.
Deliberate Practice, Feedback, Low Dose, High Frequency
Deliberate practice in resuscitation training using a feedback device, and the effects of the physical characteristics of the rescuer on the acquisition and retention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills: Randomized clinical trial
Study demonstrates that a structured training program with deliberate practice (frequent and structured practice to improve performance) using real-time feedback improves the acquisition of CPR skills and the retention of ...
