Low Dose, High Frequency, RQI-Based
Longitudinal effect of high frequency training on CPR performance during simulated and actual pediatric cardiac arrest
Evidence has shown that skills and knowledge in CPR begin to decay in months following courses such as Pediatric Advanced Life Support. Due to CPR events being infrequent in pediatric ...
Low Dose, High Frequency, RQI-Based
Personalized Training Schedules for Retention and Sustainment of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills
The advantage of spaced practice on retention of CPR skills is well documented in literature due to the decay of knowledge and skill within weeks to months post training. This ...
Low Dose, High Frequency, RQI-Based
The Effects of a Novel Quarterly Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training Program on Hospital Basic Life Support Providers’ Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skill Performance
Inadequate education, such as CPR training once every 2 years, can lead to poor-quality CPR and ultimately low survival rates following an IHCA. Research has shown that frequent skill refresher ...
Low Dose, High Frequency, RQI-Based
Baseline Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skill Performance of Nursing Students is Improved After One Resuscitation Quality Improvement Skill Refresher
Less than half of 467 nursing students who had previously completed a CPR instructor-led course could adequately demonstrate the skills of compressions and ventilation. After one training session with RQI, ...
Education Science Guidelines, Mastery Learning
Part 6: Resuscitation Education Science: 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care
These guidelines contain recommendations for the design and delivery of resuscitation training for lay rescuers and healthcare providers. The provision of effective education is highly dependent on the instructional design ...
