“…However, to date, knowledge about the optimal pedagogical approach towards training schoolchildren in CPR is scarce. Similarly lacking are systematic studies scientifically comparing schoolchildren CPR training methods 50 . The standardisation of reported data items, unification of age and sex group reporting, and training outcome measurement in studies assessing CPR training in schoolchildren is necessary to systematically study (meta-analysis) training outcomes and approaches to inform political decisions 23,51,52 .…”

BACKGROUNDTraining schoolchildren in resuscitation seems to improve rates of resuscitation by bystanders. Leading medical societies recommend comprehensive resuscitation education in schools. To date, no widespread implementation within the European Union has happened.OBJECTIVEThe study aim was to identify facilitators and barriers for the implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for schoolchildren within the European Union.DESIGNSystematic review.DATA SOURCESA literature search in PubMed was conducted between 1 January 1999 and 30 June 2020 in accordance with the PRISMA statement. The search terms ‘resuscitation’, ‘children’ and ‘Europe’ were combined with the Boolean Operator ‘AND’ and ‘OR’. Medical subject heading terms were used in order to include relevant articles.ELIGIBILITY CRITERIAArticles were included if cardiopulmonary resuscitation training specifically tailored for schoolchildren aged 12 to 18 years was considered in countries of the European Union. Articles that fulfilled the following criteria were excluded: duplicates, training methods only for specific patient groups, articles not accessible in the English language, and articles that did not include original data.Findings were structured by an evidence-based six-level approach to examine barriers and facilitators in healthcare.RESULTSThirty out of 2005 articles were identified. Large variations in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training approaches ranging from conventional to innovative training methods can be observed. Schoolteachers as resuscitation instructors act either as barrier or facilitator depending on their personal attitude and their exposure to training in resuscitation. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in schoolchildren is effective. The uncoordinated interplay between the generally motivated schools and the political orientation towards resuscitation training for schoolchildren serve as barrier. The lack of financial support, absent systematic organisation, and standardisation of training create major barriers.CONCLUSIONTraining schoolchildren in cardiopulmonary resuscitation is effective. More financial support and political guidance is needed. Until then, local initiatives, motivated teachers, and dedicated principles combined with innovative and low-cost training methods facilitate cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in schools.

“…P is defined as the percentage of time where |CR f ( n ) − CR true ( n )|<Δ. According to guidelines [33–35] the acceptable compression rate is between 100 and 120 cpm, thus Δ = 10 (cpm) was chosen as an acceptance criterion. RE par measures the performance of the CPR summary parameters listed in Section 2.3.…”

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is recognized as a global mortality challenge, and digital strategies could contribute to increase the chance of survival. In this paper, we investigate if cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) quality measurement using smartphone video analysis in real-time is feasible for a range of conditions. With the use of a web-connected smartphone application which utilizes the smartphone camera, we detect inactivity and chest compressions and measure chest compression rate with real-time feedback to both the caller who performs chest compressions and over the web to the dispatcher who coaches the caller on chest compressions. The application estimates compression rate with 0.5 s update interval, time to first stable compression rate (TFSCR), active compression time (TC), hands-off time (TWC), average compression rate (ACR), and total number of compressions (NC). Four experiments were performed to test the accuracy of the calculated chest compression rate under different conditions, and a fifth experiment was done to test the accuracy of the CPR summary parameters TFSCR, TC, TWC, ACR, and NC. Average compression rate detection error was 2.7 compressions per minute (±5.0 cpm), the calculated chest compression rate was within ±10 cpm in 98% (±5.5) of the time, and the average error of the summary CPR parameters was 4.5% (±3.6). The results show that real-time chest compression quality measurement by smartphone camera in simulated cardiac arrest is feasible under the conditions tested.

“…Thus, official institutions provide guidelines with a set of systematized standard procedures. In Europe, the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) ( www.erc.edu ) guidelines of BLS activities came into effect in 2010 and its intended to update every five years [ 6 , 7 ]. However, promulgation and effects of these recommendations are widely unknown.…”

Background In the developed world, cardiovascular diseases still contribute to mortality and morbidity, leading to significantly increased deaths in recent years. Thus, it is necessary for a layperson to provide the best possible basic life support (BLS) until professional help is available. Since information on current BLS knowledge in Germany is not available, but necessary to be able to make targeted improvements in BLS education, we conducted this study. Methods A cohort survey using convenience sampling (non-probability) method was conducted with questions found in emergency medicine education. People coming to the emergency room of two big university hospitals located in the South (Munich) and western part (Cologne) of Germany were asked to participate in the survey between 2016 and 2017. Primary outcome measures were the proportion of correct answers for each emergency scenario in relationship to age, region, profession and first-aid training. Results Altogether 1003 people (504 from Cologne; 499 from Munich) took part in the questionnaire. 54.7% were female and 45.3% were male aging from 19 to 52 with a mean of 37.2 years. Although over 90% had taken part in first aid training, many people were lacking first aid knowledge, with less than 10% choosing the correct frequency for chest compression. Hereby demographic factors had a significant influence (p<0.05) in the given answers (Friedmann-and-Wilcoxon Test). Conclusion Overall, results of our survey indicate a clear lack of BLS knowledge. With this information, targeted measures for improving BLS knowledge should be conducted. Additionally, further studies on the feasibility and efficiency of teaching methods are needed
