This study assessed the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills of 25 dental personnel. Theory was tested by multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) and practical skills assessed using a recording Resusci-Anne manikin. The assessment was based upon the recommendations of the Resuscitation Council of the UK. Seven of the 16 dental students and six of the nine house officers tested passed the MCQ examination. All failed the practical assessment. It is concluded that more emphasis should be placed upon CPR instruction in undergraduate dental courses and that regular update courses are advisable to maintain CPR skill.

The discussion presented in this chapter has been developed from literature describing the use of crop-soil simulation models as educational tools in developed countries, as well as in less developed countries. The wider experience of simulations and computer-assisted learning tools used in other subjects has also been important here, in developing an understanding of how best to use crop-soil simulation models for education and training.
