The use of virtual reality and augmented reality to enhance cardio-pulmonary resuscitation: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have been proposed as novel methods to enhance cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance and increase engagement with CPR training. A scoping review was conducted to map the global evolution of these new approaches to CPR training, to assess their efficacy and determine future directions to meet gaps in current knowledge.
