Brief Summary

A controlled clinical trial will be performed. School children from the age of 10 to 11 will be selected to learn basic life support (BLS) in a primary school of Zaragoza. One of the groups will learn BLS in two consecutive years and the other group will learn BLS only the first year. The investigators think that the knowledge will be better in the group that receives two interventions.

Conditions

Cardiopulmonary Arrest With Successful Resuscitation; Child, Only

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• To evaluate the knowledge level of BLS after receiving one or two interventions

  A questionnaire will be performed. It will consist of a 14 multiple-choice questions. Each question will have 4 choices, one of wich will be correct. Questions will be based on the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines 2015.

• To compare test results obtained previous and after intervention.

  A questionnaire will be performed. It will consist of a 14 multiple-choice questions. Each question will have 4 choices, one of wich will be correct. Questions will be based on the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines 2015. After obteining the marks, the results will be compared using Statistical Analysis Software.

Study Arms (2)

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

One year basic life support training

Other: One year training

Experimental group

SHAM COMPARATOR

Two years basic life support training

Other: Two years training

Interventions

One year training OTHER

At first, children will make a test to evaluate their pre- intervention basic support life knowledge. Secondly, they will receive a theoretical class about BLS, based on European Resuscitation Council Guide 2015. After that, they will make a practical workshop on BLS. Finally they will repeat the initial test. The second year, this group will only make the test, they won't receive any theory or practice.

Also known as: One year basic life support training

Control group

Two years training OTHER

At first, children will make a test to evaluate their pre- intervention basic support life knowledge. Secondly, they will receive a theoretical class about BLS, based on European Resuscitation Council Guide 2015. After that they will make a practical workshop on BLS. Finally they will repeat the initial test. The second year, this group will repeat the same process.

Also known as: Two years basic life support training
