TL;DR
The course leads to a significant increase in skills and knowledge with good knowledge retention and skill decline is significant which raises questions about the practice of practitioners who are not updated regularly.
Abstract
The course leads to a significant increase in skills and knowledge with good knowledge retention. Skill decline is significant which raises questions about the practice of practitioners who are not updated regularly. Issues of funding, staff resources and the assessment ethics and strategy need to be addressed.

Annals of Emergency MedicinePredicting survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A graphic model
1,233 Citations1993Mary Pat Larsen, Mickey S. Eisenberg +2 more
A graphic model that describes survival from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as a function of time intervals to critical prehospital interventions is developed and is useful in planning community EMS programs, comparing EMS systems, and showing how different arrival times within a system affect survival rate.
Evaluation of Training
914 Citations1993Martha Reeves
This book is a practical guide for those involved in training or personnel management and gives practical advice about calculating the costs and benefits of training and about how to structure an evaluation report.

Journal of Advanced NursingNurses’ knowledge and skill retention following cardiopulmonary resuscitation training: a review of the literature
355 Citations2005Rosemary Hamilton
Resuscitation training should be based on in-hospital scenarios and current evidence-based guidelines, including recognition of sick patients, and should be taught using simulations of a variety of cardiac arrest scenarios.
ResuscitationThe problem of poor retention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills may lie with the instructor, not the learner or the curriculum
236 Citations1991William Kaye, Sharon F. Rallis +6 more
The problem of poor retention of CPR skills may lie not with the learner or the curriculum, but with the instructor, so the solution is to improve instructor training to make certain that students receive adequate practice time and accurate skill evaluation, but also to modify the criteria for correct performance when testing for retention.
ResuscitationOutcome after cardiac arrest in adults in UK hospitals: effect of the 1997 guidelines
192 Citations2000Carl Gwinnutt, Malachy O. Columb +1 more
Compared to the last major multiple hospital study published in 1992, the results of this study suggest that there appears to have been an improvement in survival of in-hospital patients in the UK who have a VF/VT cardiac arrest.
ResuscitationA decade of in-hospital resuscitation: Outcomes and prediction of survival?
160 Citations2005Simon Cooper, Mohsen Janghorbani +1 more
The findings of this study show resuscitation survival rates from a 10-year study and indicate some of the key predictors of survival.
ResuscitationThe immediate life support course
68 Citations2003Jasmeet Soar, Gavin D. Perkins +2 more
The rationale for, and the development and structure of the ILS course are discussed, the first year's results are presented, and possible future developments are discussed.
BMJCardiopulmonary resuscitation in continuing care settings: time for a rethink?
63 Citations2006Simon Conroy, Tony Luxton +3 more
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is rarely successful in people who are old or frail, but current policy guidance fails to take this into account.
Journal of Clinical NursingModelling emergency decisions: recognition‐primed decision making. The literature in relation to an ophthalmic critical incident
47 Citations2006Susan Bond, Simon Cooper
Recognition-primed decision-making theory describes the decision processes of experts in time-bound emergency situations and is the foundation for a model of emergency decision making.
Emergency Medicine JournalResuscitation Predictor Scoring Scale for inhospital cardiac arrests
45 Citations2003Simon Cooper
The RPS Scale was developed from these key predictors giving resuscitation teams an accurate prediction of survival 15 minutes into a resuscitation attempt, and enabled the formulation of a survival predictor scale that will quantify the decision making process regarding the termination of cardiopulmonary resuscitation attempts.
ResuscitationDoes attendance at an immediate life support course influence nurses’ skill deployment during cardiac arrest?
36 Citations2004Mary P. Murphy, Donna Fitzsimons
ILS training alone may be insufficient to increase deployment of these skills by nurses who are not cardiac arrest team members, and a more supportive approach, involving individual coaching of these individuals may need to be considered.
ResuscitationA scoring system for the assessment of basic life support ability
29 Citations2000Colin A. Graham, Noreen F. Lewis
The proposed and prospectively validated scoring system for assessment of adult single rescuer basic life support ability showed a positive training effect in the dental students and is easily adaptable for the 1998 Guidelines on BLS.
