Self-learning basic life support: A randomised controlled trial on learning conditions
Three months after training, self-learners using a BLS kit with no facilitator demonstrated better skills retention than students who used the same BLS kit with facilitator-led teaching, performing a higher ...
Certified basic life support instructors identify improper cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills poorly: Instructor assessments versus resuscitation manikin data
Certified BLS instructors observing students performing CPR on manikins poorly judged the adequacy of students’ CPR skills. Data captured by the manikins showed that instructors often thought chest compression and ...
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: the science behind the hands
CPR works, but better CPR works better. High-quality CPR with effective chest compressions is the foundation of successful resuscitation. CPR that complies with AHA compression and ventilation guidelines can save ...

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
For chest compression technical skill acquistion, in secondary school students, a training for chest compressions based on a real-time feedback software (Laerdal QCPR®) guided by an instructor is superior to ...
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 BLS skills: Optimizing use of instructor and manikin measures
More objective feedback on compression performance during CPR courses is needed; instructor judgment alone is insufficient. Both human examiners and learners would benefit from measurement and feedback on compression performance ...

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.
