Using serious games for cardiopulmonary resuscitation training: a meta-analysis and systematic review

Current evidence does not show a statistically significant advantage for serious games over traditional CPR training methods. Importantly, the evidence is also insufficient to confirm their true equivalence. A cautious stance regarding their widespread adoption is therefore warranted. Future research should prioritize high-quality, adequately powered studies with rigorous designs, standardized intervention protocols (e.g., game types, training duration), and unified internationally recognized assessment standards.
