Gathering Evidence on Best Practices for Lay Rescuer CPR Training

This study aims to find the best ways to teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to people who aren't medical professionals. Researchers are comparing different lengths and frequencies of CPR training, as well as various types of CPR manikins (the dummies used for practice). They also want to see how things like games and emotional engagement in training affect how well people learn and remember CPR skills. The goal is to improve CPR training so more people can help in a cardiac arrest emergency. You can join if you are a student at a participating school and haven't had previous CPR training that would be included in the analysis. The study will measure how well participants remember their CPR skills for up to four years. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 2100 participants. Participants will be randomized by class or individually into different training groups.
What's involved
You will answer questionnaires before and after training, participate in CPR training, and complete CPR skills testing.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your CPR skill retention will be measured for up to four years after training.

Student or parent opt-out
  • CPR Skill Retention1-4 years

    High-quality CPR as measured by compression rate (per minute), depth (inches), and correct hand placement. High-quality CPR is defined as correct rate (100-120/min) AND \>70% of compressions at appropriate depth (2-2.4inches) with appropriate hand placement.
