Randomized Controlled Trial
A stabilization device to improve the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation during ambulance transportation: A randomized crossover trial.
The quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during ambulance transportation is suboptimal, and therefore measures that can improve the quality are desirable. ⋯ The use of a stabilization device can improve the quality of CPR and posture stability during ambulance transportation, although the effects on the severity of back pain were not significant.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The design of instructional tools affects secondary school students' learning of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in reciprocal peer learning: A randomized controlled trial.
Research investigating design effects of instructional tools for learning Basic Life Support (BLS) is almost non-existent. ⋯ This study shows that the design of instructional tools (i.e., task cards) affects student learning. Research-based design of learning tools can enhance BLS and CPR education.
