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.
