The review reports, citing Otero-Agra et al. (2019), that gamification methodology resulted in significantly higher scores for CPR quality and correct rate compared to VFC and TC methods when teaching CPR to secondary school students.

"Gamification proved effective in improving CPR learning among younger students [30]."
