The science shows that interval training is effective in improving resuscitation outcomes across the care continuum. Because codes are less frequent in non-emergency care settings, skills that are refreshed in two-year increments will likely not result in high-quality, life-saving CPR. Building muscle memory creates more competent and confident clinicians for both adult and neonatal resuscitation practices. Like top athletes who use interval training—periods of intense work followed by periods of rest and recovery—effective resuscitation training works the same way

How can an organization effectively manage this training and development approach?

It’s simple. Use the Interval Dial to select the optimal practice frequency for your organization’s unique needs or student group. Finally, you can control the time interval for developing your staff, creating more competent and confident clinicians and caregivers.
