ABSTRACT
This paper describes an initiative to build a multimedia computer-based teaching package for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The project resulted from a perceived gap in the undergraduate medical curriculum allied to concern from medical students. The software application was designed to be networked and used as an adjunct to taught life support courses for undergraduate medical students. The package comprises tutorials and test questions in basic and advanced life support. It incorporates sound, video, graphics and animation to illustrate the techniques involved and is distributed on CD ROM for the PC. The content is based on the 'Advanced Life Support Manual', produced by the Resuscitation Council (UK) and incorporates all changes to the guidelines made during 1997 and 1998. The basic life support section has been networked locally, and has been tested on more than 60 third year medical students attending a local basic life support course. It was found that students who used the package performed significantly better in theoretical assessments than those who did not.
