Introduction: The AHA trains over 20 million people in CPR skills annually. Virtual Reality (VR) education may improve student engagement, but the efficacy of VR-CPR programs has not been adequately studied. We performed the largest study to-date evaluating the feasibility of VR-enhanced CPR training. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that an immersive, VR-enhanced CPR training program, digitally linked to a physical manikin, can teach middle/high-school students Hands-Only CPR skills resulting in strong learner engagement. Methods: We linked a VR-enhanced CPR training program to a standard manikin with an optical “time of flight” sensor and hand-tracking gloves. Based on AHA’s Hands-Only CPR protocol, training included compression rate (100-120/min), depth (2-2.4”), hand position, and full chest recoil, with 124 students from 3 middle/high-schools in Florida (n= 38) and California (n=42, n=44). Iterations to streamline the user experience were implemented for Pilots 2 and 3. Results: VR-enhanced CPR training significantly improved compression rate, depth, and hand position; chest recoil was not statistically changed. Post-training, students were tested on CPR knowledge: 78% (96/124) were correct on nature of cardiac arrest, 88% (109/124) on compression rate, and 83% (103/124) on compression depth. Of students with prior CPR training, 79% stated VR-CPR training was more effective than prior training. Iterations in Pilots 2 and 3 were associated with additional learning gains at those sites. Conclusions: In this first-of-its-kind study, middle/high school students learned Hands-Only CPR skills and knowledge with a VR-enhanced CPR training program digitally linked to a physical manikin. Our VR-CPR training uniquely separates each of 4 Hands-Only CPR skills into separate training modules in which students receive instant feedback. Future study and development of VR-CPR is warranted, especially as learning gains were associated with user experience iterations.

As advances in biotechnology and molecular biology rapidly expand in research settings, it is vital that we continue to prepare high school students to enter and thrive in those modern laboratories. This multistep, inquiry-based lab describes highly adaptable methods to teach students not only current molecular techniques and technologies, but also about proteomics and microorganisms. Students participate in protein extraction, gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and data analysis to identify proteins present in microorganisms.
