Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Manual vs. integrated automatic load-distributing band CPR with equal survival after out of hospital cardiac arrest. The randomized CIRC trial.
To compare integrated automated load distributing band CPR (iA-CPR) with high-quality manual CPR (M-CPR) to determine equivalence, superiority, or inferiority in survival to hospital discharge. ⋯ Compared to high-quality M-CPR, iA-CPR resulted in statistically equivalent survival to hospital discharge.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Learning Basic Life Support (BLS) with tablet PC's in reciprocal learning at school: are videos superior to pictures? A randomized controlled trial.
It is often assumed that animations (i.e., videos) will lead to higher learning compared to static media (i.e., pictures) because they provide a more realistic demonstration of the learning task. ⋯ Results do not support the assumption that videos are superior to pictures for learning BLS and CPR in reciprocal learning.
