This study aimed to increase rates of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and bystander response to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) by critically exploring and putting into practice different learning methods for formerly incarcerated adult learners at the Delancey Street Foundation. Four classes with n = 31 multi-ethnic male students were…

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival rates have been shown to be lower than cardiac arrest survival rates occurring in the hospital setting. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can significantly improve survival. PumpStart, a community service-learning program developed by medical students, was formed to increase education on…

The development of information and communication technologies and the accessibility of mobile devices has increased the possibilities of the teaching and learning process anywhere and anytime. Mobile and web application allows the production of constructive teaching and learning models in various educational settings, showing the potential for…

Ways to overcome classroom restrictions, equipment costs, and a lack of knowledge or training in the teaching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are discussed. (CMJ)
