title: Enhancement of recall of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR): Use of moving-image card to review the dynamics of CPR.
abstract: Since victims of cardiac arrest have a more favorable outcome when CPR is immediately applied, it is important to continue to motivate individuals to learn proper technique. It is equally important to ensure that individuals who have learned CPR maintain adequate recall of the procedure. With the intent of enhancing recall of the principles of CPR, a wallet-size plastic card was developed which, when tilted, creates the illusion of movements. Thus, the card enables a viewer to review the dynamic aspects of CPR and reinforces the essential steps of establishing an airway and maintaining breathing and circulation.
