To improve CPR performance:
1. Use Real-Time Feedback Devices
CPR manikins with feedback sensors can monitor compression depth and rate.
2. Emphasize Minimizing Interruptions
Train responders to switch compressors quickly (within 5 seconds).
3. Practice High-Stress Simulation
Simulate realistic emergency environments to improve decision-making under pressure.
4. Reinforce Critical Fail Steps
Special training focus on:
- Avoiding prolonged pulse checks (>10 seconds)
- Avoiding shallow compressions
- Preventing excessive ventilation
5. Regular Refresher Training
CPR skills decline within months; refresher practice improves retention.
