“…However, the prevalence of low knowledge in this study was higher than that reported in a study conducted in Kashan, Iran, where no participant had a high level of first-aid knowledge, but 63.3% and 36.7% exhibited moderate or weak first-aid knowledge, respectively 23 . Similarly, a study conducted in Kerbala City, Iraq, indicated that most primary school teachers had a low level of first-aid knowledge (50.0%) 30 .

Background: Understanding first aid is crucial for immediate intervention during health emergencies, with choking representing a significant danger, particularly for young children. Obstructed airways commonly lead to choking incidents, carrying substantial risks if not swiftly dealt with. This research endeavors to evaluate the comprehension, perspectives, and implementation of first aid measures for choking incidents among primary school teachers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an area of paramount importance with minimal existing research within this particular demographic. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from the beginning of July till the end of October 2023, among 447 primary school teachers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data collection was carried out by administering a questionnaire through an online platform. The questionnaire included demographic information, knowledge about signs and symptoms of choking, the attitude of participants, participant’s practice, and the relationship between the knowledge level about choking and practice. The data collected were reviewed, coded, and then fed into IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 29 (Released 2023; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). Results: Our study on first aid management of choking among primary school teachers highlighted significant findings. Participants demonstrated high awareness of choking signs with 386 (86.3%) recognizing universal signs and 330 (73.8%) claiming proficiency in first aid. Attitudes favored the importance of immediate treatment in 394 participants (88.1%) and the necessity of first aid knowledge for teachers (92.2%). One-hundred and fifty-one participants (33.8%) reported performing choking first aid with 328 (73.4%) opting for the Heimlich maneuver for a six-year-old. Significantly, higher knowledge correlated with increased first aid performance (p < 0.001) and support for mandatory training (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study indicates a higher knowledge level in primary school teachers with positive attitudes and practices regarding choking first aid management. It underscores the importance of enhancing first aid training among primary school teachers, emphasizing its positive impact on choking management and the necessity of immediate intervention in such cases.

“…3 For instance, Donoghue et al showed that bystander CPR increased child patient survival rates from 4.7% to 9.4%. 3 According to recent research by Hunt et al, paediatric residents do CPR that is subpar and does not adhere to American Heart Association standards. 4 Teaching CPR to medical students should enhance subsequent performance as it is closely related to lower child survival rates.…”

“…Theoretical knowledge is necessary, but it is insufficient in and of itself to perform a successful cardiac resuscitation. (2)(3)(4)(5) A qualified BLS practitioner should possess several basic abilities that can lower the high fatality rate linked with cardiac arrest in individuals with cardiovascular disease. Additionally, cardio-respiratory arrest can occur more in children, with a few minor variations in the BLS protocol that medical professionals should be aware of.…”

Subjects and Methods: This quasi experimental study design was conducted on 100 schools' roles who teach or deal with students in primary school, with a convenience sample collected from some five schools at Ismailia governate, between January and March 2019. After receiving theoretical training, teachers were shown how to do BLS using a cardiac resuscitation model and video. The BLS procedures were then practised by the teachers on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation model. Teachers were required to execute the BLS stages sequentially on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation model after a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 6 weeks following practical instruction.
