Summary: This narrative review examines the effectiveness of alternative CPR instruction compared to traditional CPR courses for the general population. The assessment of alternative instructional methods suggests that video self-instruction and simplified CPR formats result in similar CPR performance compared to traditional courses. Further research is needed to confirm the value of self-directed learning, interactive digital, and abbreviated formats, but these studies indicate equivalence in CPR performance. Therefore, we recommend public safety leaders and CPR educators to strongly consider introducing these alternative programs in their communities and classrooms.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of a checklist as a tool for assessing chest compression quality in schoolchildren. The results showed moderate to high agreement between the checklist and real-time software in evaluating CPR performance. Older schoolchildren performed CPR better regardless of sex and BMI.

Summary: Comparing the long-term effects of chest compression-only CPR training and conventional CPR training in police officers, it was found that chest compression-only CPR training led to better retention of CPR skills. Therefore, chest compression-only CPR training may be more suitable as a standard training method for police officers as first responders.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate whether instructor-led distance learning can provide a comparable level of CPR skills to traditional classroom-based training. Results showed that the DL group achieved similar CPR outcomes to the CL group, with a significant improvement in compression depth. Instructor-led distance learning may be a suitable alternative for providing CPR training, particularly in situations where face-to-face training is not feasible, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decrease in medical skill education, particularly in CPR training. This study developed a video-based remote system that uses an IoT device to measure CPR performance and provide real-time data. While remote education shows promise as an alternative to face-to-face education, there are significant differences in other aspects compared to traditional training. The significance of this study lies in being the first to develop and test a remote education system for medical skill training in the age of COVID-19.

Summary: A study in Slovenia showed a significantly improved level of theoretical knowledge in cardiopulmonary resuscitation among schoolchildren aged 12-15 years after training. Children aged 12.5 years exhibited the greatest increase in knowledge, while factors such as gender, age, body mass index, and previous training influenced knowledge levels. Girls scored higher than boys both before and after training.

Summary: The willingness of schoolchildren to perform CPR is influenced by the gender characteristics of OHCA victims. Female schoolchildren are generally more willing to perform CPR than males, and males have lower CPR willingness towards female OHCA victims. However, CPR training can effectively increase male schoolchildren's willingness to perform CPR.

Summary: Hybrid or online-only CPR training methods can achieve better outcomes in certain aspects compared to traditional instructor-led in-person training, including scene safety assessment, calling for help, response time, ventilation volume, compression rates, etc.

Summary: The study found that there was no significant difference between self-instruction and instructor-led methods in terms of CPR and AED skill performance, with self-instruction group performing better in some skills but worse in others. Both groups showed similar pass rates and knowledge test scores.

Summary: This study investigates the ideal group size for effective teaching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, indicating that instructors' ability to detect errors decreases with larger groups. The recommended maximum instructor-to-participant ratio for correcting over 80% of errors is 1:6 in CPR courses.

Summary: This study proposes a low-cost CPR education method using deep learning technology. By converting chest compression videos captured via smartphones into images and providing feedback, the effectiveness of CPR training can be improved, leading to a higher survival rate for cardiac arrest patients.

Summary: This study explores the meanings identified by a group of 105 fourth year primary schoolchildren when solving a task involving partitioning. The findings show that the students recognized purposes or usages based on multiple strategies and defined new categories. They utilized graphic, verbal, and numerical representation and established relationships among them.

Summary: This study compared the anesthetic management of ASD closures via mini lateral thoracotomy and sternotomy approaches, finding longer procedure duration in the thoracotomy group. There was no significant difference in opioid consumption intraoperatively or in the first 24 hours after surgery, and no difference in intensive care unit or hospital stay between the two approaches.

Summary: This study aimed to predict pediatric left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using a deep-learning algorithm. The results demonstrated that a fine-tuned model could calculate pediatric LVEF within clinically acceptable error, potentially reducing operator error and supporting independent assessment by inexperienced users.

Summary: This study investigated the rate, resource utilization, and outcomes of pediatric patients urgently admitted to the ICU post-anaesthesia. The findings showed that young children with respiratory indications were the majority in unplanned ICU admissions post-anaesthesia, which tended to occur later in the day and required mechanical ventilation.

Summary: Several international pediatric anesthesia societies challenged current fasting guidelines by proposing a shorter fasting period for clear liquids. Some US pediatric medical centers have adopted policies in line with these international guidelines. While evidence supports a shorter fasting period, individual patient factors should be taken into consideration.
