Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? Groups that acquired CPR skills through a voice advisory mannequin obtained better skill results with statistically significant differences relative to other groups in the reviewed trials. → García-Suárez 2019 q2 i? In one reviewed trial (Isbye et al.), the instructor-led group obtained better immediate skill results than the VAM self-directed groups, and ventilations were not improved at first. → García-Suárez 2019 (2)

Evidence¶

García-Suárez 2019¶

García-Suárez, M., Méndez-Martínez, C., Martínez-Isasi, S., Gómez-Salgado, J., & Fernández-García, D. (2019). Basic Life Support Training Methods for Health Science Students: A Systematic Review.

q2 · i? · review · r3

Systematic review synthesis of RCTs comparing VAM-based training with other methods. The review reports that groups "acquired knowledge through a VAM obtained better results with statistically significant differences relative to the rest of the groups".

"As for the acquisition of technical CPR skills, the groups that acquired knowledge through a VAM obtained better results with statistically significant differences relative to the rest of the groups [9,12]."

García-Suárez 2019 (2)¶

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

The review reports a counter-result from one included trial: the "instructor-led group obtained better results than the self-directed groups that used a VAM" immediately after intervention; the discussion adds that ventilations were not improved at first in VAM studies per Isbye et al.

"Finally, in the study by Isbye et al. [22], the instructor-led group obtained better results than the self-directed groups that used a VAM."

Discussion¶

Theoretical BLS knowledge outcomes do not differ between instructor-led sessions and self-directed computer CD/DVD learning — related
A serious game simulation complementing CPR instruction improved theoretical knowledge but not CPR skills — related
Simulation Based Education Improves Outcomes — a broader claim this one bears on
