High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation is associated with improved survival and neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, health care professionals frequently do not perform within guidelines life-support training.To determine if brief intermittent training in could improve nurses' skills to high-quality 70% or more of the time during 2 minutes 3 sessions.In a prospective single-center quality improvement program, pediatric critical nurses had monthly resuscitation. A portable manikin/defibrillator chest compression sensor was used provide corrective audiovisual feedback optimize skills. Resuscitation practiced on an adult manikin. Target goals were depth greater at rate 100/min 120/minute. Percentage target range mean recorded. Data collected every other month. The percentage both compared among different total numbers sessions.Of 62 who participated training, 48 data collected. median from 29% no 46% 1 session, 54% sessions, 68% 74% 4 sessions (P = .001). Compression increased number .002).This program yielded significant skill retention.
