Application and progress of virtual reality in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training： challenges and prospects

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical life-saving skill, and its widespread adoption is closely associated with the survival rate of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, traditional CPR training remains several limitations. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality, and metaverse-related technologies, immersive training has emerged as a promising innovation in medical education, particularly in CPR instruction. This article reviews the research progress and challenges of VR-based CPR system, and provides ideas for future technology development.
