Technological innovations in CPR: enhancing emergency response in home settings for older adults

Abstract

This article analyzes the most recent technological advances in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training for the general public with the goal of improving emergency response in the home of older adults. In the context of the current economic and health crisis, empowering the population with skills in these techniques becomes essential to reduce mortality from cardiac arrest. CPR is a critical technique that can save lives, but its effectiveness depends on the knowledge and preparation of those who perform it. Lack of training significantly limits response capacity in out-of-hospital emergency situations. Through a documentary review in the PubMed database, various technological tools and educational methods used to teach this technique were identified and evaluated. Evidence shows that training the public using these innovative resources significantly improves the effectiveness of cardiac resuscitation performed outside the hospital setting
