Effect of real-time visual feedback device 'Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (QCPR) Classroom' with a metronome sound on layperson CPR training in Japan: a cluster randomized control trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

'Quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (QCPR) Classroom' was recently introduced to provide higher-quality Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training. This study aimed to examine whether novel QCPR Classroom training can lead to higher chest-compression quality than standard CPR training.

Design

A cluster randomised controlled trial was conducted to compare standard CPR training (control) and QCPR Classroom (intervention).

Setting

Layperson CPR training in Japan.

Participants

Six hundred forty-two people aged over 15 years were recruited from among CPR trainees.

Interventions

CPR performance data were registered without feedback on instrumented Little Anne prototypes for 1 min pretraining and post-training. A large classroom was used in whic
