RQI is the innovative training program from the American Heart Association designed to help healthcare providers acquire and maintain high-quality CPR skills. High-Quality CPR Saves Lives.
Once every two years is way more convenient than 4 times per year, even if it's shorter. I get keeping people up on their compressions, that's why we have mock codes every year as well.
Great idea if you have a manikin that works right. The computer wouldn’t pass one of our doctors at 98%. Also, the small/weaker health care providers and those with back problems or chronic health issues couldn’t pass. A few weeks later the manikin was replaced but new one remains difficult. I haven’t tried the new one yet but heard that other health care workers are having problems still. Last time I did skills a month ago I was sweating and all I heard from the computer was “push harder, push harder” SO ANNOYING! I have performed CPR in code situations numerous times and have participated in saving many lives in hospital setting including once in a clinic office setting with an AED. It took 20 minutes for EMS to show. The patient is still alive. This RQI requirement sounds like a great idea if the technology actually works.
So what of the mega code? How do we practice intubation? What about the ACLS instructor and the NRP instructor that can imbed their words of wisdom in us to make us better care givers?
Why do you stress at least 3 times in this video that this new protocol "saves money"? What the hell does that have to do with anything? This should be 100% about saving lives, not saving money.
This has been an absolute nightmare. I do not learn well this way. I have gone twice to try to do this, the second time I went, I spent an HOUR and still left incomplete. The machine keeps telling me “adjust the mask”. Am I putting too much pressure? Not enough? Who knows! I have small hands and it is a major struggle. I’ve learned absolutely nothing.
Last week, the app told me I didn't pass because "you should have started with 2 minutes of CPR if no no shock is required." THE ONLY OPTIONS ON THE SCREEN WERE 15:2 OR 30:2.
One of the worst ideas that American Heart has come up with. I don't need a mannequin to let me know if I am doing compressions adequately. All I have to do is look at a real live patient and their monitor to know that I am doing them well. A waste of money for the hospitals. This is money that could have been spent on hiring staff to help with patient care on REAL LIVE patients. How many nursing units did not get the staff they needed because the hospitals wasted money on this piece of crap?
Don't you have to take an in person practice on a manikin every two years? I've used this and this saves taking an all day class. It has an online portion you do, then this hands on portion takes about 10 minutes and can be done before or after shift. The cost is actually cheaper than paying people to go to in person class. I am NOT a representative for the company but have used this and it was so much easier and less time consuming.

Have to come in extra on a day off. With only one RT on a 12-hour shift, can't be at a real code and plan a simulation as well.
This is the worst idea ever. Last time I did the manikin, I did my ventilations with the bag between my knees.

It’s counterproductive and where I work they expect us to casually just do this on shift in between patient care. It’s annoying 110%
