Description
Summary:BackgroundSeveral studies related to the use of corrective feedback devices in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, with different populations, training methodologies, and equipment, present distinct results regarding the influence of this technology. ObjectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the impact of corrective feedback devices in cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills acquisition and retention for laypeople and health care professionals. Training duration was also studied. MethodsThe search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus from January 2015 to December 2023. Eligible randomized controlled trials compared technology-based training incorporating corrective feedback with standard training. Outcomes of interest were the quality of chest compression–related components. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool. A meta-analysis was used to explore the heterogeneity of the selected studies. ResultsIn total, 20 studies were included. Overall, it was reported that corrective feedback devices used during training had a positive impact on both skills acquisition and retention. Medium to high heterogeneity was observed. ConclusionsThis systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that corrective feedback devices enhance skills acquisition and retention over time. Considering the medium to high heterogeneity observed, these findings should be interpreted with caution. More standardized, high-quality studies are needed.
