Effectiveness of teaching basic life support resuscitation using virtual reality - a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Knowledge and skills in Basic Life Support (BLS) resuscitation procedures are essential for the correct recognition of circulatory arrest and the implementation of rapid management, resulting in increased survival rate of the victim. Numerous techniques for teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are being used, yet there is insufficient data on the effectiveness of using virtual reality (VR). The aim of the study was to evaluate the short- and three-month didactic effect in teaching BLS procedures and chest compressions using modern virtual reality (VR) technology.

Methods

A total of 205 subjects were included in the study, assigned by randomized controlled design to a study group (A) implementing VR training and a control group (B) participating in traditio
