Pillow CPR: a cheaper way to save lives?
NCT ID NCT07160881
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a simple pillow can be as effective as a standard manikin for teaching CPR to healthy adults. 128 participants will be trained using either a pillow or a manikin, and researchers will measure compression depth, number of compressions, and hand position. If successful, this could make CPR training more affordable and accessible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CPR training with a pillow manikin
- What this could lead to
- If pillows work as well as manikins, this could make CPR training cheaper and more accessible for many people.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early study in healthy volunteers, not patients. Pillows may not provide the same feedback as manikins, so results may not translate to real-life CPR skills.
