Can Technology Improve the Quality of Resuscitation ?
instructors possibly leading to inadequate performance in real-life conditions and affect survival negatively .
Somewhat similar research conducted by German researchers in 2019 reached a similar set of conclusions .
The German researchers compared results from two groups of learners . One hundred and twelve medical students were randomized to a control and an intervention group . All participants participated in a 30 minute lecture on the basics of CPR . Next , the control group participated in a 90 minute , instructor-led session of hands-on training . The intervention group took part in a 45 minute problem-based learning ( PBL ) session that was followed by 45 minutes of high fidelity simulation training . The PBL method helped instructors incorporate complex , real-life scenarios to help students more effectively learn CPR as well as helping to develop the critical thinking and communication skills that can be significant factors in a crisis .
Nearly 52 % ( 51.9 ) of the intervention group met the established criteria for highquality CPR as opposed to just 12.5 % of the control group . The German researchers concluded that simulation training led to a measurable increase in student ’ s ability to initiate high-quality CPR .
