Part 12: Resuscitation Education Science: 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care

The provision of an effective education component is highly dependent on the instructional design of the educational endeavor because design strongly determines how content is delivered to and ultimately taken up by the learner. Placing greater emphasis on our understanding of how to increase the effectiveness of education programs will improve performance and lay rescuer confidence and enhance local implementation, all of which lead to the ultimate goal of increasing survival from sudden cardiac arrest.

Maintenance of CPR skills among nursing students trained using Resuscitation Quality Improvement program

learningrqi — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 18:14:41 +0000

CPR, the cornerstone of cardiac arrest management, is a competency for nurses and nursing students to master and retain. However, providers experience skills decay rapidly within weeks to months after training, if not used or practiced. The Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) program is an evidence-based program that provides low-dose, high-frequency CPR skills training and verifies skills competence. The objective of this multisite longitudinal study was to examine the maintenance of adult and infant compressions and ventilation skills by nursing students at 3 and 6 months following practice with real-time feedback using the RQI program.

Developing competency of nursing students in cardiopulmonary resuscitation using Resuscitation Quality Improvement technology

learningrqi — Thu, 02 May 2024 21:34:03 +0000

In the United States, nearly 290,000 hospitalized patients suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest each year. The knowledge retention and ability to perform high-quality CPR is critical. Traditionally, the focus of CPR training has been on direct care providers such as nurses and physicians, with the role of nursing students in the delivery of CPR being largely underappreciated. Due to rapid skills decay, and limited practice, nursing students are at a particular risk of not performing high-quality CPR. Ensuring nursing students begin their practice with the ability to perform high-quality CPR can advance life-saving efforts. This study examined the outcomes of training nursing students in CPR skills using the RQI program.

Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI®) HeartCode Complete® Program Improves Chest Compression Rate in Real World Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients

learningrqi — Tue, 16 May 2023 17:02:09 +0000

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival remains low at approximately 10% in the United States. High-quality CPR is one of the most important factors in improving survival. The RQI HeartCode Complete Program is designed to enhance CPR training by using real-time feedback simulation stations. The objective of this study was to assess the quality of CPR performed on OHCA patients among paramedics trained in HeartCode Complete with the RQI simulation station vs paramedics who were not.

RCT comparing the clinical effectiveness of conventional instructor-facilitated cardiac compression training to technology enhanced training using high-fidelity mannequins – A pilot study

learningrqi — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 21:26:52 +0000

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 high frequency, low dose compression training via high-fidelity mannequins that provide directive feedback to prevent skills decay and enhance skills acquisition. This pilot evaluates the difference in healthcare provider skill levels that train via the RQI training system (with continuous practice) and a control group that trained via traditional instructor-led training.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation retention training for hospital nurses by a self-learner skills station or the traditional instructor led course: A randomised controlled trial

learningrqi — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 13:52:23 +0000

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 skills station for recertification was similar to instructor led training both at 2 and 8 months following recertification.

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 skills 3 months later.

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 instructor-based feedback training.
