Use of a Real-Time Training Software (Laerdal QCPR®) Compared to Instructor-Based Feedback for High-Quality Chest Compressions Acquisition in Secondary School Students: A Randomized Trial
Accuracy of instructor assessment of chest compression quality during simulated resuscitation
The use of objective and technology-based measures of chest compression quality for feedback in simulated resuscitation settings is supported.

Assessment of Longterm Impact of Formal Certified Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Training Program Among Nurses
Traditional CPR training programs increase CPR knowledge and skill, but significant long-term effects could not be found. Regular and periodic recertification of CPR skills is needed.
