Extract

Although there may be international differences in some aspects of CPCR course content, we hope material presented will catalyze research in education with CPCR self-training systems. Historically, self-training in CPCR was first introduced to the University of Pittsburgh medical students in 1971 through a pilot program in a CPR learning laboratory. This training was enhanced by the development of a mobile prototype recording manikin (by Laerdall with immediate feedback via lights indicating correct and incorrect actions in breathing and external chest compressions.
