First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study compared two ways to teach CPR to medical students: watching instructional videos versus practicing on manikins with an instructor. Over 120 fourth-year students took part, and their skills were tested three weeks later. The goal was to see if video training could be as effective as the traditional hands-on method.
