Introduction: No definitive answer has been given to the question ‘who should teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation?’ Healthcare professionals and high school teachers are mostly the trainers, but medical students are increasingly being used for this purpose. Methods: We divided 296 high school students in three groups based on trainer professional level. Medical students, anaesthesia and intensive care residents, and anaesthesia and intensive care specialists provided basic life support training. We tested their theoretical knowledge with the help of a multiple-choice question questionnaire and practical abilities with the help of a medical simulator, recording chest compression frequency as the primary outcome parameter. Results: The study shows comparable results in all groups, with the exception of the chest compression frequency which was higher in the students’ and residents’ groups (students: 134.7/min ± 14.1; residents: 137.9/min ± 15.9; specialists: 126.3/min ± 19.3). Increased rates were not associated with lower depths (39.0 mm ± 8.2, 40.5 mm ± 9.7, and 38.1 mm ± 8.2), so the quality of compressions provided may be seen as equivalent in all the study groups. Conclusion: Our data suggest that medical students may be as effective as anaesthesia and intensive care specialists and residents in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training.

This study aims to determine whether the British Heart Foundation PocketCPR training application can improve the depth and rate of chest compression and therefore be confidently recommended for bystander use. A total of 118 candidates were recruited into a randomised crossover manikin trial. Each candidate performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for 2 min without instruction or performed chest compressions using the PocketCPR application. Candidates then performed a further 2 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation within the opposite arm. The number of chest compressions performed improved when PocketCPR was used compared to chest compressions when it was not (44.28% vs 40.57%, p < 0.001). The number of chest compressions performed to the required depth was higher in the PocketCPR group (90.86 vs 66.26). The British Heart Foundation PocketCPR application improved the percentage of chest compressions that were performed to the required depth. Despite this, more work is required in order to develop a feedback device that can improve bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation without creating delay.

Introduction: Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs provide an ideal environment to deliver targeted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to cardiac patients and their family members. However, the prevalence of CPR training in Australian programs is low (24%). This study sought to identify the best strategy to implement CPR training into cardiac rehabilitation programs. Hypothesis: We hypothesise that coordinators who receive a higher level of education (information pack including two self-instructional CPR video training kits and a face-to-face education session) compared to those who only receive an information pack, will be more likely to incorporate CPR training into their cardiac rehabilitation programs. Methods: A two-arm randomised controlled implementation study is currently being conducted across Australia. One cardiac rehabilitation coordinator per cardiac rehabilitation program, where the program is not currently providing regular CPR training to patients and families, is eligible to participate. Coordinators will be randomised 1:1 to either receive an information pack or information pack plus face-to-face education session. Results: To date 23 coordinators (59% metropolitan programs, 41% rural programs) have been randomised. Few programs (19%) have previously offered CPR training and only 25% currently include information about CPR. Common barriers to incorporating CPR training into programs are time (71%), resources (67%) and a lack of awareness to include CPR training (24%). Motivations for including CPR training are driven by coordinators assessment that patients and families are interested in CPR training (81%). Implementation data will be presented including information on the level of implementation in addition to a sample of brief qualitative telephone interviews to further discuss enablers and barriers. Conclusions: Cardiac rehabilitation represents a logical location to provide targeted CPR training to high-risk cardiac groups at scale across Australia. This study will aid in better understanding how cardiac rehabilitation coordinators can be supported to enable more programs to incorporate CPR training.
