Can a monthly online refresher keep CPR skills sharp?
NCT ID NCT07649343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial investigates whether an online booster training system helps medical students retain high-quality CPR skills months after their initial course. Participants are medical students who have completed a standard CPR class and are randomly assigned to either receive monthly online booster sessions or no additional training. The study measures how well they perform chest compressions and pass a theoretical test three months later.
