“… The enrolment of undergraduate students overtakes the age-related local legal limits in teaching and using the automatic external defibrillator and the limitation in chest compression depth by children since compression depth correlates with physical characteristics such as increasing weight, BMI, and height. [ 47 ] Automatic external defibrillator and chest compression depth are considered the two most essential features for high-quality CPR and a factor affecting victim survival[ 15 16 17 ]; The CPR training proposed during the academic courses is based on international guidelines, developed on undergraduates’ specific skill attitudes, and implemented with evidence-based protocols.

The number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, cause of disability and death, has dramatically increased worldwide, but despite the progress, the incidence of survival does not appear to have increased significantly. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) remains the principal factor in saving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims. Analyzing the immense efforts produced by states and professional organizations to train people in CPR skills for immediate intervention in the occurrence of a cardiac arrest, the primary global strategy is centered on CPR education and training for schoolchildren. But the rate of CPR training remains low, with wide differences among communities. The concept of CPR training for schoolchildren to increase bystander CPR rates needs to be implemented. We suggest a global call to action for the tertiary education system for CPR learning and training, including all undergraduate students regardless of the degree course, as a possible method to improve the traditional CPR training today centered on the secondary education system. Extending CPR training courses to the university educational system could significantly increase the number of people educated in life-saving maneuvers. The final objective is to improve the survival rate of patients with out-of-hospital primary cardiac arrest, which has dramatically increased worldwide.

“…Although many researches have supported the usefulness of such devices during training, do automated real-time feedback devices improve CPR quality [32]? In that paper, the authors aim to assess the effectiveness of artificial real-time feedback devices for improving CPR performance during training, simulation and real-life resuscitation attempts in the adult and pediatric population [30,[33][34][35][36][37][38]. In the conclusion of that paper, the use of automated real-time feedback devices enhances skill acquisition and CPR performance during training of healthcare professionals is proposed.…”

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure performed on a person experiencing cardiac arrest to manually preserve brain function until spontaneous breathing and blood circulation can be restored. If performed timely and properly, it can improve the survival rate of a person experiencing cardiac arrest. The promotion of CPR has always been an important task for countries around the world. Countries around the world often hold relevant study camps and seminars to improve the public’s awareness of CPR. On the basis of this rationale, this paper proposes an interactive teaching aid kit for CPR that uses a CPR manikin and tutoring software to facilitate CPR learning among trainees. The CPR manikin is equipped with sensors that determine whether the CPR steps are performed correctly. Data from the sensors are sent to the tutoring software through wireless transmission. The software provides video demonstrations and textual instructions concerning the standard CPR procedure. In this software, the interactive interface displays real-time information about the trainee’s CPR process, such as information on the CPR step being performed and the number of chest compression and breaths given. Thus, this teaching aid kit allows trainees to learn CPR without an instructor. This system may enable CPR to become a readily learnable skill for the general population.
