Towards effective resuscitation training

: The central aim of Current Care Guidelines for resuscitation is to guarantee effective resuscitation for all cardiac arrest patients as carried out by both laymen and professionals. Basic health care training does not guarantee sufficient competence. In spite of simplification of the resuscitation algorithm, problems appear at all stages of resuscitation. Unused skills will be forgotten without the person self recognizing it. Every health care professional should at least once a year attend the continuing education arranged by persons in charge of resuscitation. New technology will facilitate the reception of feedback from both training sessions and actual resuscitation situations.
