Evidence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance
has driven interest in procedures, e.g., debriefing to improve CPR quality.
To investigate retention of skills with and without debriefing 3-
after CPR training on high-fidelity manikins (HFM) among participants in-
volved in the “Heart Safe City Initiative” event (HSCI) in Makkah
Arabia.
A randomized controlled design was used during Oc-
tober 2017-January 2018. Participants were divided into two groups: an in-
tervention group to receive debriefing after CPR (debriefing group or “sub-
jects”), and a non-intervention group (“controls”). Participants were tested re-
peatedly: before training (pre-training test), immediately after and 3-
after training (retention or late test); and scores for each test were
The study’s subjects and controls did not vary by age, sex, nationali-
ty, and profession’s criteria (
p
> 0.05, all analyses). The mean retention post-
tests scores significantly varied between subjects and controls [
t
27.7,
p
< 0.0001)]; however, the two groups did not vary in their immediate
score levels (mean ranks: 106.77 v. 95.68,
p
= 0.18). Further, the immediate
posttest scores were significantly higher than the pretests’ within the study
population as a whole group [mean difference 38.05% ± 27.59%,
t
13.5,
p
< 0.001]; within subjects [mean difference 40.68% ± 29.26%,
t
(105) =
14.31,
p
< 0.0001]; and within controls [mean difference 35.06% ± 25.44%,
