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 ...
Effect of a resuscitation quality improvement programme on outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Achieving optimal outcomes, including survival, from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is dependent on the timeliness of pre-hospital interventions and the quality of how these interventions are implemented. The implementation of ...
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 ...
