House staff training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Abstract:
An audiovisual instructional program has been developed to teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to new interns and house staff. The entire program conformed to standards established in this subject and was devised so that it could be used for either large or small group instruction. Special projection equipment and a computerized student response system made it possible to use the audiovisual material with large groups and yet maintain most advantages of individual instruction. Following the instructional sessions small group workshops gave students an opportunity to demonstrate CPR and to receive guidance from trained personnel. Small group instruction was also enhanced by use of the audiovisual materials. After participation in the program, all interns were judged competent in performing required CPR tasks; 98% rated the program "good" or "excellent".
