Background Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education requires that learners practice key skills to promote mastery. Our aim in this study was evaluate differences post-education performance and class participation during CPR training between face-to- face (FF) non-face-to-face (NFF) learning formats. Methods This a randomized controlled of third-year medical students from two university hospital, allocated either the FF or NFF format for education. The scenario addressed single-person CPR, consisting chest compression only, excluded breathing. Kahoot! application used NFF. Between-group comparisons were based on video recordings. Results Seventy participated our study, with 35 randomly groups. There no between-group terms age, sex, previous basic life support training, willingness confidence performing CPR. Compared group, group demonstrated significant including fewer calling assistance using defibrillator (p = 0.006), as well checking breathing 0.007), counting 0.006). Additionally, < 30% completed rhythm analysis after last shock delivery resumed immediate 0.001). All both groups passed post-training assessment. Conclusion Class lower than learning. Although evaluation not inferior, efforts promoting active are required.
