Use of a special kit to train parents of children at high risk of sudden cardiopulmonary arrest to perform CPR at home increased the likelihood that parents would know what to do in an emergency, researchers in an American Heart Association-funded study found.
Moreover, use of the CPR training kit, which included a baby mannequin, also decreased the time nurses needed to spend briefing parents about CPR prior to discharge, reported Lynda J. Knight, RN, of Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, Calif., and colleagues in the Jan. 8 edition ofJournal for Healthcare Quality.
