No, CPR training in virtual reality does not replace basic first aid training but rather expands on it. We use VR as a supplementary module in which participants can practise responding to critical situations in a simulated environment where they need to resuscitate a person, which they would not normally encounter.
The theory, practical training on mannequins, and model scenarios are always led by an instructor – VR provides a powerful experience that helps overcome the fear of CPR and better remember the correct resuscitation procedures.
