About this study
Official title: Optimal Serial Training Frequency for Attainment and Maintenance of High Quality CPR Using Real-Time Automated Performance Feedback Combined With Verbal Feedback From a CPR Instructor
Objectives: The primary objective is to determine the least frequent CPR training interval associated with continued performance of guideline-compliant CPR. The secondary objective is to determine whether certain physical characteristics, such as age, gender, exercise tolerance, height, and weight may be able to identify HCPs at high risk of being unable to perform high-quality CPR.
Design: Randomized trial to compare the effect of different training frequencies on long-term CPR performance.

Participants and setting: Nurses in all adult departments at Health Sciences North. Subjects will be randomly assigned to a group that undertakes short CPR assessment and training sessions either 1) every month, 2) every 3 months, 3) every 6 months, or 4) every 12 months (control group) over the course of a twelve-month period.
Analysis: The proportion of nurses in each group that is able to perform "excellent CPR" at the twelve-month time point will be determined. Excellent CPR is defined as a two-minute CPR session where 90% of compressions are performed with correct depth (50-60 mm), 90% with correct rate (100-120 /min), and 90% with full chest recoil. A subgroup analysis will also be performed where the demographic data of individuals who are unable to perform excellent CPR at the twelve-month time point regardless of intervention group are compared against those who are successful.
Conclusion: The results of our study will help determine the longest CPR training interval associated with maintenance of high-quality CPR skills to minimize training sessions required and decrease associated costs. The results will also generate hypotheses for future study about optimizing role assignments and team performance in resuscitation.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of nurses in each group able to perform "excellent CPR" after completing CPR training programs of various frequencies
"Excellent CPR" is a dichotomous variable achieved if 90% of compressions are performed with correct depth (50-60 mm), 90% with correct rate (100-120 /min), and 90% with full chest recoil.
The proportion of nurses in each group able to perform "excellent CPR" after completing CPR training programs of various frequencies.
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Predictors of inability to perform high-quality CPR
Comparison of the following factors in participants able to perform "excellent CPR" and those who are not at the twelve-month time point: percentage of participants who are female or have self-declared shortness of breath when climbing two flights of stairs, and average age, height and weight.
Measured: 12 months

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Proportion of nurses in each group able to perform "excellent CPR" after completing CPR training programs of various frequencies (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
