Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who are not healthcare professionals and are physically capable of performing CPR.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are healthcare professionals or those with physical limitations that prevent them from performing CPR will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates how varying durations of Basic Life Support (BLS) retraining sessions impact the performance of non-professionals in CPR and AED techniques. Participants will first receive initial training and then be randomly assigned to one of three groups for retraining sessions lasting 45, 60, or 75 minutes. Their skills and knowledge will be assessed through tests and evaluations conducted before and after the training sessions, with performance recorded and analyzed by blinded instructors. The goal is to determine the optimal retraining duration for effective BLS performance.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the effectiveness of BLS training programs, leading to better preparedness among the general public in emergency situations.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored CPR training effectiveness, but this specific focus on varying retraining durations is relatively novel.
