The latest Circulation (5 February 2008) addresses
the need to improve CPR performance.

"Healthcare provider systems that deliver CPR should implement continuous quality improvement processes that include monitoring the quality of CPR delivered during any attempted resuscitation. These monitoring data should be used to maximize the quality of resuscitation care delivered, including the quality of CPR performance.

Some of these devices can also record CPR performance and provide opportunities for debriefing and training. Such tools may have an important impact on this quality improvement goal in coming years."

"For EMS, hospital systems, and other professional CPR providers, the use of rigorous simulation with video recording and debriefing may serve as a staple in resuscitation training; the use of such patient simulators is a rapidly expanding area of current research."
