Brief summary
The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of the extended reality (XR)-based basic life support (BLS) training.
Detailed description
Conventional CPR training is based on the use of a manikin and a training video. Though several feedback devices have been developed to improve the effectiveness of the training, they were neither realistic nor immersive. In addition, in conventional training programs, trainees are constrained in terms of time and location, as they are usually kept to a schedule. Virtual reality (VR) technology, which was designed to maximize immersion, could be used to overcome those limitations, which in turn may improve the effectiveness of CPR training. However, even with VR technology, procedures such as chest compressions, ventilation, and defibrillation cannot be implemented as in the real world. Extended reality (XR), which combines the virtual and real worlds, could overcome these limitations by facilitating the use of real-world manikins in the virtual environment.

| the mean chest compression depth(mm) | Test sessions on day 1 (during 5 minutes) after 1 hour training | compression depth between 5cm and 6cm |
| hands-off time (sec) | Test sessions on day 1 (during 5 minutes) after 1 hour training | Interruptions of chest compressions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation |
| The time interval from arrival on the scene to the first chest compression (sec) | Test sessions on day 1 (during 5 minutes) after 1 hour training | The time interval from arrival on the scene to the first chest compression. |
| AED use | Test sessions on day 1 (during 5 minutes) after 1 hour training | Done/Not done |
