Background:
This study retrospectively evaluated the safety of resuscitation training during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic under Japan Resuscitation Council (JRC) guidance.
Methods And Results:
From 2018 to 2024, all participating staff were monitored by the Infection Prevention and Control Center. Although learner numbers declined in 2020, training sessions increased, and numbers returned to prepandemic levels. The Resuscitation Quality Improvement program enabled flexible, contactless training, further boosting participation. Notably, no COVID-19 cases were linked to training sessions.
Conclusions:
These findings demonstrate that resuscitation training can be conducted safely by adhering to JRC guidance, even during a public health crisis.
