Trauma and Emergency Care Studies

There are a variety of methods used for training in resuscitation. None are perfect and, in the absence of frequent practice, retention of knowledge and skills is suboptimal. The optimal interval for retraining has not been established, but repeated refresher training at intervals of less than 6 months seems to be needed for most individuals who are not undertaking resuscitation on a regular basis. 1 Makker R.
