[Blended learning versus virtual reality and traditional methods in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training: a randomized trial in university students].

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is the leading cause of sudden death. Basic Life Support (BLS) training is an essential competency in Nursing. Active learning methodologies such as blended learning may improve educational outcomes.
