Table 1 Definitions of training methodologies employed to train participants
Terminology | Definition |
|---|---|
Alternative CPR Training | CPR teaching methodologies including non-standard face to face, hybrid, and online CPR training |
Flipped CPR learning | CPR training in which participants watch short pre-recorded videos followed by hands-on practice with an instructor |
Flowchart-supplemented CPR Training | Provision of a flowchart prior to beginning resuscitation attempts |
Hybrid CPR Training | CPR training using a combination of face to face and online teaching methodologies. The examples include Kiosk session, interactive computer training plus instructor-led training, and video learning followed by hands-on CPR training. |
Jigsaw Model CPR Training | Division of the intervention group randomly into a chest compression and a ventilation group |
Kiosk Session | Features a touch screen with a video program that gives a brief “how-to” followed by a practice session and a CPR test |
Multistaged Approach | A three-staged approach comprising of a bronze (50 compressions only), silver (50 compressions: 5 breaths), and a gold (conventional CPR) stage |
Non-standard Face to Face CPR Training | Face to face CPR training conducted without using an expert instructor-led teaching methodology or standard CPR training material. The examples include simplified (hands only) CPR training, peer-based CPR training, jigsaw model CPR training, flowchart-supplemented CPR training, and multistage CPR training. |
Online CPR Training | Digital CPR training using video self-instruction, interactive computerized module, voice advisory mannequin feedback, or virtual reality |
Peer-based CPR Training | Training received by a group of participants who have been instructed by professional instructors in advance |
Simplified (hands only) CPR Training | Simplifying the learning of CPR by focusing on continuous chest compressions with simple hand placement |
Standard CPR Training | An instructor-led CPR training conducted in a classroom setting |
Virtual Reality CPR Training | CPR training in a simulated environment using smartphones, headphones, and virtual reality goggles with the mobile App providing feedback |
Voice Advisory Mannequin Feedback Training | An immediate, standardized, and corrective audio feedback training without presence of an instructor |
