Influence of pre-course assessment using an emotionally activating stimulus with feedback: a pilot study in teaching Basic Life Support.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) mastery continues to challenge medical professionals. The purpose of this study was to determine if an emotional stimulus in combination with peer or expert feedback during pre-course assessment effects future performance in a single rescuer simulated cardiac arrest. ⋯ The emotional stimulus approach to BLS-training seems to impact the ability to provide adequate compression depth up to 6 months after training. Furthermore, pre-course assessment helped to keep the participants involved beyond initial training.
