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.
