Effect of Face-to-Face vs Virtual Reality Training on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality

Abstract
Cardiac arrest constitutes a major health care problem, with more than 300 000 deaths annually in the United States alone.1 Early automated external defibrillator (AED) use and high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are important determinants of survival.2-6 However, most individuals with cardiac arrest do not receive any form of bystander CPR, which may be because most civilians are not currently trained in CPR.2,3,7-10 Therefore, increasing awareness, willingness, and capability to perform CPR is promoted as a key issue in international practice guidelines and by leading health care authorities.11-17
