Brief Summary
This research is a response to problems with Cardiovascular Disease in Colombia, where circulatory system diseases are the first cause of mortality in the adult population, making them a critical issue for the country. It is known that around 70% of cardiac arrests occur outside health institutions, generally at home or on public roads. To reduce these high mortality rates, international recommendations were issued to establish strategies to train the general population in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, especially school-age children. This constitutes a key stage for initiating learning. This condition significantly favors learning and preserving the acquired knowledge for the rest of their life. Based on the reasons above, this pilot project seeks to be the first approach at the national level to train second-grade elementary school children in Basic Life Support. This training will describing the step by step experiences of the participants, focusing on: project viability related to recruitment and follow-up, acceptability, the experience of participation from the educational community, and the effects of implementing the intervention on the knowledge and skills in the child population. A virtual protocol will be implemented (adapted to the current situation generated by the Coronavirus pandemic), and will be developed through didactic methodologies in three 60-minute educational sessions, during regular class hours.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Viability
This variable is defined as the proportion of eligible participants who agree to participate in the study. Selection and monitoring form: In the first place, the form is filled out to discern if the children meet the inclusion criteria, then the consent form is signed, and finally the children agree to participate in the study. Then, the children who enter training sessions complete a form, in order to measure the percentage of children who attended all the sessions and to compare it with the children who were initially recruited.
8 weeks
Acceptability
Defined as the degree to which the participants were comfortable with their experience with the nursing intervention "UN Salvavidas Kids Tunja version". Participant's satisfaction questionnaire with the intervention: This approach has two parts, the first one involves three open questions and the second 6 with closed answers using dichotomous nominal variables.

The experimental protocol UN Lifeguard Kids in the Tunja version
EXPERIMENTALGroup to which the experimental protocol will be offered.
Educational session, accident prevention and wound management.
PLACEBO COMPARATORThe control group will be offered the Educational session.
Interventions
The experimental protocol UN Lifeguard Kids in the Tunja version done by the researcher following the guidelines of International organizations such as the American Heart association and European Resuscitation Council. The intervention consists of 3 sessions of 60 minutes of theoretical and practical exercises on BLS, developed within the usual class schedule.
It will be provided to the control group
