Abstract

This study evaluates the efficacy of foam pillows as instructional aides to achieve accurate compression depth and chest recoil during CPR training. A descriptive study design was employed. The study involved 30 respondents with no experience with CPR. We enrolled 30 respondents aged 17 to 25 through open recruitment via WhatsApp and Instagram. Foam pillows (45 cm x 60 cm) with compression markers served as instructional tools. The study utilized Laerdal's Little Anne QCPR CPR mannequins and the QCPR application on an iPad Air 2 . After 1 minute of hands-only CPR on a foam pillow, all respondents continue to perform in Little Anne QCPR mannequin. The findings of this study show that the correct compression depth was performed by 28 respondents (93%) and the correct chest recoil by 30 respondents (100%). Foam pillows promise to enhance community-based CPR training by promoting precision in compression depth and chest recoil.
