q3 · i? · review · r2

Systematic review of 31 experimental, quasi-experimental and RCT studies published 2006–2022, screened with the Jadad scale (score ≥ 3 required). The review's narrative synthesis reports that "Most studies reported that real-time feedback significantly improved CPR quality" across the four CPR quality parameters.

"Most studies reported that real-time feedback significantly improved CPR quality, particularly in achieving the recommended compression rate and depth, correct hand placement, and complete chest recoil."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• An augmented-reality CPR training application did not improve CPR quality compared with a standard audio-visual feedback manikin — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• A team-focused, video-reviewed ED CPR bundle combining mechanical compression device training, in situ simulation, and multidisciplinary video review was followed by higher ROSC — related
• Gamification improved CPR learning among younger learners compared with conventional teaching methods — related
• Feedback from trained humans was in some settings as effective as mechanical feedback devices for CPR quality — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Some accelerometer-based and AED-integrated audiovisual feedback devices improved certain CPR parameters but reduced compression depth — reports the opposite
• Feedback-based CPR training is associated with more accurate chest compression performance than standard instruction — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Real-time audio feedback from the CPR Tutor is followed by a short-term decrease in Error Rates across all five target CPR classes within 10 seconds — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• In a randomised study with 40 CPR-naive lay adults in Tibet, 10 minutes of TibetCPR training produced rhythm-stabilisation gains that substantially exceeded unguided practice and transferred to an unscaffolded post-test — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Rhythm or pacing aids during CPR training were associated with more consistent compression rates — related
