Abstract

Abstract: Specific training modules focusing on mechanical chest compression and device use might be considered in a structured manner during the standard advanced life support (ALS) courses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a specific brief 15 min training on the use of a specific mechanical CPR device during Advanced Cardiac Life Support courses on its correct use and on attendees' satisfaction.
