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 ...
Globally, there is an increasing need to improve survival after cardiac arrest, with the survival rate of OHCA in China being less than 1% compared to 12% in the USA ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Low dose-high frequency, case based psychomotor CPR training enhanced in-hospital clinical CPR quality.
Low dose-high frequency, case based psychomotor training is a feasible method to enhance CPR skill retention in the hospital.
Feedback and debriefing are useful tools on their own, but when combined, studies have shown even more improvement in CPR Quality.
