BACKGROUND: Basic life support education for schoolchildren has become a key initiative to increase bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rates. Our objective was to review the existing literature on teaching schoolchildren basic life support to identify the best practices to provide basic life support training in schoolchildren. METHODS: After topics and subgroups were defined, a comprehensive literature search was conducted. Systematic reviews and controlled and uncontrolled prospective and retrospective studies containing data on students <20 years of age were included. RESULTS: Schoolchildren are highly motivated to learn basic life support. The CHECK-CALL-COMPRESS algorithm is recommended for all schoolchildren. Regular training in basic life support regardless of age consolidates long-term skills. Young children from 4 years of age are able to assess the first links in the chain of survival. By 10 to 12 years of age, effective chest compression depths and ventilation volumes can be achieved on training manikins. A combination of theoretical and practical training is recommended. Schoolteachers serve as effective basic life support instructors. Schoolchildren also serve as multipliers by passing on basic life support skills to others. The use of age-appropriate social media tools for teaching is a promising approach for schoolchildren of all ages. CONCLUSIONS: Schoolchildren basic life support training has the potential to educate whole generations to respond to cardiac arrest and to increase survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Comprehensive legislation, curricula, and scientific assessment are crucial to further develop the education of schoolchildren in basic life support.

“…47 The multiplier effect, the number of trained schoolchildren per trained teacher, is 38 47 and effectiveness of the training was proven by Felzen et al 48 Another approach to the systematic education of schoolteachers in CPR is integrating mandatory CPR education into the routine training syllabus of teachers. 10,39,40,49 This would support systematic CPR education of schoolchildren, the main goal of the KIDS SAVE LIVES-statement, instead of CPR training as part of voluntary campaigns and projects. 9 Abelairas-G omez et al 49 support the integration into the university syllabus as more than 95% of their study participants, teachers and parents, were in favour of including first-aid contents in the school curriculum and in the syllabus of the university degrees of teachers.…”

“…7,8 It is important to include CPR education in the school curriculum in order to create a holistic and sustainable understanding of the topic of resuscitation and its relevance amongst schoolchildren. 9,10 The KIDS SAVE LIVES statement aims for CPR education (holistic topic) instead of CPR training (only resuscitation skill training) in schools. 6 The European resuscitation guidelines provide five key aims for successful resuscitation education in laypersons like schoolchildren: enhance willingness to perform CPR, reinforce the chain of survival, teach resuscitation using feedback devices, distribute resuscitation training over time (spaced education), and maintain resuscitation competencies by frequent retraining.…”

“…By targeting the knowledge, skills, and self-confidence of the schoolchildren, both the likelihood of an active intervention in a real-life situation and the effectiveness of performance in CPR can be improved 7,8 .

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.
