The effect of time on CPR and automated external defibrillator skills in the Public Access Defibrillation Trial

Abstract: Background-The time to skill deterioration between primary training/retraining and further retraining in Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED) for lay-persons is unclear. The Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) Trial was a multi-center randomized controlled trial evaluating survival after CPR-only vs. CPR+AED delivered by onsite non-medical volunteer responders in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.Aims-This sub-study evaluated the relationship of time between primary train… Show more

“…These variables will dictate the structure of the curriculum-whether it be longitudinal or "boot camp" (modular) style. Studies assessing courses given longitudinally have demonstrated longer retention of skills after completion of the course, [44][45][46] yet are challenged with maintaining full participation and attendance for all sessions. Modular or boot camp style courses, such as standardized resuscitation courses offered by the American Heart Association and Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada (e.g., Advanced Cardiac Life Support Course), have observed skills acquisition, which decay over a 6-to 12-month period of time.…”

“…The skills of CPR are difficult to teach and once taught diffi cult to retain. [20,21] It is also a fact that after graduation, training of resuscitation skills is diffi cult due to busy schedules and lack of teachers and resources in developing countries like ours. Federico et al [13] concluded the significant decay of ALS skills 6 months post-ALS recorded among anesthesiologist in their study.…”

“…It is a documented fact that the skills of CPR are difficult to teach and once learnt difficult to retain. [14,15] The time elapsed since training in BLS/ACLS grouped as two years or more was a pitfall in the current study and hence, a detailed analysis of drain in the skills with respect to time was not possible.…”
