Evaluation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator skill retention with simplified community-based training
Laypeople dispatcher-assisted CPR performance in this study declined 4 months after training. However, skill performance remained above pre-training levels. These findings suggest the need for retraining to sustain trainees' proficiency in dispatcher-assisted CPR skills; however, the optimal frequency of retraining requires additional investigation.
