School of CPR VR is an innovative project developed in virtual reality for smartphones. The principal aim is to increase awareness, inform and train on the maneuvers to be performed in the event of cardiac arrest in adults and children. School of CPR VR includes two different scenarios: out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in adults in a prestigious location such as Piazza Santo Stefano in Bologna and pediatric cardiac arrest in a school. The user is guided through the specific scenario: consciousness evaluation, assessment of breathing, call for help, CPR, and use of an AED. The goal is to adequately answer the various questions correctly in order to proceed in the resuscitation of the patient victim of cardiac arrest.
