About this trial
Previous studies on compression-only CPR and AED training for the general public have primarily focused on the optimal retraining interval. However, the impact of different retraining durations remains unclear. This study explores how varying practice durations in Basic Life Support (BLS) training affect BLS performance among non-professionals.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Average compression rate
The average compression rate during the skill assessment and the proportion of participants in each group with an average compression rate between 100-120 compressions per minute one year after the initial training
Time frame
one year after the initial trainingSecondary outcomes
1
Average compression depth
The average compression depth and the proportion of participants in each group with an average compression depth between 5-6 cm during the skill assessment every three months
Time frame
3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the initial training2
Average compression rate
The average compression rate and the proportion of participants in each group with an average compression rate between 100-120 compressions per minute at 3 month, 6 months and 9 months after initial training.
Time frame
3 month, 6 months and 9 months after initial training3
Chest recoil
The proportion of complete chest recoil in each group every three months
Time frame
3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the initial training4
Flow time
The percentage of compression time over total assessment time in each group during the skill assessment
Time frame
3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the initial trainingOther outcomes
1
Perspectives questionnaire on retraining
The perspective questionnaire on retraining consists of two questions: (1) How long do you think the interval for CPR retraining should be? (2) How long do you think the duration of a CPR retraining course should be? These two questions are open-ended.
