Purpose:
To assess the effects of a real-time feedback device and refresher sessions in acquiring and retaining chest compression skills.
Methods:
Healthcare providers participated in refresher sessions at 3-time points (blocks) over 1-year. At each block, chest compression (CC) skills were assessed on an infant and adult task trainer, in one 2-min trial without feedback (blinded), and up to three 2-min trials with feedback (unblinded). Skills retention over time was explored at three time lags: 1-3, 3-6, >6 months. Data collected included chest compression rate (100-120/min), depth (4 cm for infants and 5 cm for adults), and recoil between compressions.
Results:
Among 194 participants, achievement of excellent CC (≥90% of adequate compressions for all parameters) increased with feedback. Linear mixed models found significant (p < 0.05) improvement in rate, depth, and recoil. Performance between last unblinded trial in block 1 with the following blinded trial in block 2 significantly decayed in rate on both task trainers irrespective of time passed, while depth and recoil performance were maintained only for infants.
Conclusions:
A real-time visual feedback device improved CC skills with better results in infants. Skills decayed over time despite two refresher sessions with feedback.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
