OBJECTIVE: To determine whether in the local lay Hong Kong population, video self-instruction about cardiopulmonary resuscitation has comparable results to traditional classroom instructions. DESIGN: Prospective randomised single-blind controlled trial. SETTING: A first-aid training organisation in Hong Kong. PARTICIPANTS: Cantonese applicants for cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses aged between 18 and 70 years were recruited into the study. They were randomised into two groups. Those selected for self-learning were given a kit (consisting of a mini-manikin, a video compact disc, and an instruction manual) and sent home. The other group underwent usual classroom training. Both groups were examined together; the examiners remained blinded to the background training of the subjects. Those who passed were asked to come back for re-examination after 1 year. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The examination passing rates initially and after 1 year. RESULTS: During a 1-year period between 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008, 256 subjects were recruited into this study, 124 for self-learning and 132 for classroom training. The age range was 18 to 62 (mean, 39; standard deviation, 10) years. There was no significant difference in passing rate between the two groups at the initial examination or at the re-examination after 1 year. Notably, 28 (23%) of the participants of the self-learning group taught cardiopulmonary resuscitation to relatives and friends. CONCLUSION: Video self-learning resulted in cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance as good as traditional classroom training. |
