Abstract：

The high incidence of cardiac arrest makes the widespread dissemination of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills a critical public health priority. Enhancing the CPR proficiency of non-medical university students, as potential first responders, holds significant importance for saving lives. Currently, diverse training models exist for non-medical students, including traditional classroom instruction, online learning, and simulation-based practice. However, numerous challenges persist regarding training effectiveness, content optimization, and sustainability. This paper systematically reviews recent research advances in the field, focusing on analyzing the strengths and limitations of various training models. It explores how to enhance training effectiveness through pedagogical innovation and content optimization, while also addressing sustainability and the cultivation of practical application skills. The review aims to provide theoretical support and empirical evidence for the scientific design and practical implementation of future CPR training programs for non-medical university students, thereby advancing the widespread adoption and deepening of emergency education.
