“…This increase is a small improvement of the youths' self-confidence in performing mouth to mouth ventilation. In real life events, there is a possibility for a high psychological barrier of youth to initiate mouth-to-mouth ventilation [27] resulting in en poorly performed ventilation of the patient [28]. Schroeder et al [29], therefore, argues that, due to the decreasing importance of mouth-to-mouth ventilation in lay resuscitation in favor of chest compressions, specially adapted CPR-algorithms for school children could be discussed [29].…”

Background: A rapid emergency care intervention can prevent the cardiac arrest from resulting in death. In order for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to have any real significance for the survival of the patient, it requires an educational effort educating the large masses of people of whom the youth is an important part. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a two-hour education intervention for youth regarding their self-confidence in performing Adult Basic Life Support (BLS). Methods: A quantitative approach where data consist of a pre-and post-rating of seven statements by 50 participants during an intervention by means of BLS theoretical and practical education. Results: The two-hour training resulted in a significant improvement in the participants' self-confidence in identifying a cardiac arrest (pre 51, post 90), to perform compressions (pre 65, post 91) and ventilations (pre 64, post 86) and use a defibrillator (pre 61, post 81). In addition, to have the self-confidence to be able to perform, and to actually perform, first aid to a person suffering from a traumatic event was significantly improved (pre 54, post 89). Conclusion: By providing youth with short education sessions in CPR, their self-confidence can be improved. This can lead to an increased will and ability to identify a cardiac arrest and to begin compressions and ventilations. This also includes having the confidence using a defibrillator. Short education sessions in first aid can also lead to increased selfconfidence, resulting in young people considering themselves able to perform first aid to a person suffering from a traumatic event. This, in turn, results in young people perceiveing themselves as willing to commence an intervention during a traumatic event. In summary, when the youth believe in their own knowledge, they will dare to intervene.

“…Awareness of BLS was present in 66.6% of students, but skills were found in 18% only. [12] Furthermore, healthcare professionals and international studies also reported that trained individuals were more willing and confident to perform bystander CPR [7]. Therefore, trained professionals or students may be able to perform early CPR, initiate resuscitation efforts, and speed up access to prehospital and definitive care.…”

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduces cardiac arrests and associated deaths when patients receive prompt CPR from trained healthcare professionals. Physiotherapists, using exercise as a therapeutic approach, need to have good CPR knowledge and skills not only to deal with possible adverse cardiac events during exercise but also because the widespread application of CPR and early defibrillation can significantly reduce mortality from a heart attack. In this study, we assessed cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge among physiotherapy students in Ahmedabad. Aims and Objective: This study aimed to assess CPR knowledge among physiotherapy students in Ahmedabad. Method: A cross-sectional study of physiotherapy students in Ahmedabad was conducted. An online survey was conducted with a self-administered questionnaire. The data was collected from 191 physiotherapy students in Ahmedabad aged 18-25 years. A CPR knowledge questionnaire was completed by the students and the result was analyzed with Microsoft Excel 2019. Results: Our results suggest that the students were a good understanding of the importance of CPR in clinical practice and stand average in knowing its indications and effectiveness. Whereas, only 4.18% of them were completely aware of the universal compression ventilation ratio, and 38.21% were aware of the current order of CPR being compression, airway, and breathing. Conclusion: In our study, we concluded that awareness of CPR is good among physiotherapy students in Ahmedabad. Key words: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge, Physiotherapy Students, Awareness of CPR.

“…A limitation of the apps was that the compression site was inconsistently labeled, leading to inaccurate hand and arm positions. According to a study conducted in 2019, consistency with hand and arm positions is critical for chest compression accuracy [76]. According to the CPR guidelines [9,10,[48][49][50], chest compressions should be at least 5-6 cm in depth, at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute (2 per second).…”

“…However, ventilation volume and verification of chest rising are poorly integrated into the ventilation part of CPR. A study from 2019 indicated that teaching schoolchildren ventilation requires more teaching time, and it is harder to establish good quality BLS results [76]. Apps that teach ventilation as a part of CPR are more time-consuming; however, they also adhere more closely to the BLS guidelines.…”

Background Globally, 3.7 million people die of sudden cardiac death annually. Following the World Health Organization endorsement of the Kids Save Lives statements, initiatives to train school-age children in basic life support (BLS) have been widespread. Mobile phone apps, combined with gamification, represent an opportunity for including mobile learning (m-learning) in teaching schoolchildren BLS as an additional teaching method; however, the quality of these apps is questionable. Objective This study aims to systematically evaluate the quality, usability, evidence-based content, and gamification features (GFs) of commercially available m-learning apps for teaching guideline-directed BLS knowledge and skills to school-aged children. Methods We searched the Google Play Store and Apple iOS App Store using multiple terms (eg, cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR] or BLS). Apps meeting the inclusion criteria were evaluated by 15 emergency health care professionals using the user version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale and System Usability Scale. We modified a five-finger mnemonic for teaching schoolchildren BLS and reviewed the apps’ BLS content using standardized criteria based on three CPR guidelines. GFs in the apps were evaluated using a gamification taxonomy. Results Of the 1207 potentially relevant apps, only 6 (0.49%) met the inclusion criteria. Most apps were excluded because the content was not related to teaching schoolchildren BLS. The mean total scores for the user version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale and System Usability Scale score were 3.2/5 points (95% CI 3.0-3.4) and 47.1/100 points (95% CI 42.1-52.1), respectively. Half of the apps taught hands-only CPR, whereas the other half also included ventilation. All the apps indicated when to start chest compressions, and only 1 app taught BLS using an automated external defibrillator. Gamification was well integrated into the m-learning apps for teaching schoolchildren BLS, whereas the personal and fictional, educational, and performance gamification groups represented most GFs. Conclusions Improving the quality and usability of BLS content in apps and combining them with GFs can offer educators novel m-learning tools to teach schoolchildren BLS skills.
