A review of educational issues in resuscitation training.
This paper considers a number of concerns about resuscitation training. Poor retention of skills and the factors which affect understanding and memory, as well as the need for a positive attitude towards resuscitation, are discussed. Some specific points are made on how these, as well as the trainer's ability to teach resuscitation, can be improved.
