Abstract
The development of information and communication technologies and the accessibility of mobile devices has increased the possibilities of the teaching and learning process anywhere and anytime. Mobile and web application allows the production of constructive teaching and learning models in various educational settings, showing the potential for active learning in health. The objective of this study was to present the design and development of an educational technology (SavingLife, a web, and mobile-based application) for learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advanced cardiovascular life support for adults. SavingLife is a technological production, based on the concept of virtual learning and problem-based learning approaches. SavingLife was developed using five phases (analyze, design, develop, implement, evaluate) of the instructional systems development process. The technology presents 10 scenarios and 12 simulations, covering different aspects of basic and advanced cardiac life support skills. The contents can be accessed in a non-linear way leaving the students free to build their knowledge based on their previous experience. Each scenario is presented through interactive tools such as scenario description, assessment, diagnose, intervention and re-evaluation. Animated ECG rhythms, text documents, images, and videos are provided to support procedural and active learning considering the real-life situations. Accessible equally on small to large devices with or without an internet connection, SavingLife offers a dynamic, interactive and flexible tool, placing students at the center of the learning process. SavingLife can contribute to the studentâs learning in the assessment and management of basic and advanced cardiac life support for adults, in a safe and ethical way.
Highlights
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops pumping adequate blood to the brain and body.This may be due to abnormal or irregular heart rhythm, known as Arrhythmia
The cardiovascular disease strikes every nation around the world
It must be noted that users can access the clinical scenario, simulations, and quizzes in a non-linear way, without any specific order to navigate the SavingLife leaving students free to establish the construction of knowledge from their past experiences
Summary
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops pumping adequate blood to the brain and body. This may be due to abnormal or irregular heart rhythm, known as Arrhythmia. If treated with immediate defibrillation if a shockable rhythm exist otherwise cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is used in order to induce a shockable rhythm [1,2]. The cardiovascular disease strikes every nation around the world. Despite recent advances in the prevention and treatment, cardiac arrest remains a significant public health problem and a.
