Brief Description of
Presentation
We will first review the
basics of CPR. All participants will then perform 2
minutes of CPR on a high-fidelity resuscitation
manikin during which they will be provided real-time
feedback. We will then review the meaning of
‘effective CPR’. Following this de-briefing period,
all participants will be given an opportunity to
perform an additional 2 minutes of CPR to determine
if corrections were made to their original
resuscitation efforts.
