Healthcare organizations are under growing pressure to train clinicians faster while still ensuring competency and patient safety. As a result, simulation-based education has become one of the most important tools in modern healthcare training.

Healthcare organizations are no longer satisfied with CPR training that relies solely on instructor observation.

Across hospitals, EMS systems, nursing schools, and community training programs, educators are shifting toward smart CPR technology that provides measurable performance data in real time.

The reason is simple: CPR quality directly impacts survival.

In emergency medicine, few tools are as universally recognized — or as consistently relied upon — as the bag valve mask.

Whether it is a cardiac arrest call in the field, a respiratory emergency in the emergency department, or airway support during patient transport, the BVM remains one of the most important devices in emergency care.

And for decades, Ambu has been one of the most trusted names associated with it.

Hospitals, EMS agencies, nursing programs, schools, and community organizations are all investing more heavily in pediatric-focused simulation training designed to improve confidence and emergency preparedness.

CPR awareness and training have built an important foundation—but awareness alone isn’t creating consistent action. Real change happens when students don’t just learn CPR, but begin to see it as part of their identity, their culture, and something they actively carry forward through peer influence and shared ownership.

Most radiologic technology programs are strong in technical instruction. Students learn positioning, protocols, and equipment operation. But employers are increasingly clear that technical competence alone is no longer enough.

CPR training gives students the knowledge and skills to respond in an emergency—but knowledge alone doesn’t always translate into action. Lasting readiness is built through repetition, peer influence, and culture, helping students move from simply being trained to genuinely feeling prepared to step forward when it matters most.

Over the past two decades, CPR education in schools has expanded significantly. Today, most U.S. states have laws encouraging or requiring CPR training for high school students, and millions are trained every year. This is real progress. But in many schools, CPR training happens once and may not be revisited again.

Investing in simulation technology is one of the most strategic moves a healthcare education program can make. But convincing budget committees to allocate capital requires more than saying “it’s a good tool.” Leaders need evidence-based justification.

Minimally invasive surgery has transformed modern surgical practice. Over the past three decades, procedures like laparoscopic cholecystectomy and appendectomy have replaced many open techniques due to smaller incisions, faster recoveries, and reduced postoperative pain. But mastering the unique motor skills required for laparoscopy has historically posed challenges for surgical educators and trainees alike — especially given current limits on resident hours and clinical exposure.

A growing body of evidence shows that simulation-based training is now essential for developing complex laparoscopic and robotic surgical skills, not just complementary to clinical experience.
