Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
In developed countries, public policies have been created to encourage basic life support education to the general population. In Colombia, because of the high prevalence of these diseases and the need for public health strategies, a law was issued to provide access to automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in public places. However, it has not been developed strategies for education on this subject.
For that reason, the investigators created an educational strategy of self-learning, which consists of a complete basic life support course based in new Information and Communication technologies with tools to manufacture a mannequin and a homemade DEA, which will allow continuous training, with a very low cost compared to traditional life support training.
The clinical trial will compare that two educational strategies, evaluating as primary aid, which approach has higher knowledge retention of life support chain at 6 months in students after the workshop. As secondary objectives, the investigators would evaluate the efficient in terms of response times, costs and student satisfaction.
This study will be carried out in high school students from two different high schools, without prior training in Life support. Both strategies will be distributed randomly. The experimental group will carry out the self-learning strategy based on ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), with which they will be retrained every month, and the control group will carry out the conventional training only once as usual. Subsequently, each of the objectives will be evaluated at six months.
It is proposed that the self-learning strategy is superior compared to conventional training, requiring fewer resources to perform it and allows constant retraining, which improves retention and quality in a resuscitation process.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Basic Life Support Training based on ICTs
It will be conformed with students from one highschool random selected. They will receive a basic life support training based on Information and communication technologies.
Basic Life Support training based on ICTs
This intervention is defined as a self-training course consisting of a 5-minute educational video in basic life support and a Kit with the elements to build the home dummy and the home DEA allowing integrally students to develop the steps as the video. The Kit will be delivered at the beginning of the study and every month the necessary materials will be complemented. The strategy will be carried out by the students every month and supervised by their teachers. Students will have constant access to an educational platform based on ICTs.
Classic Basic Life Support Training
It will be conformed with students from another highschool random selected. They will receive a full and conventional basic life support training based on American and Hear Association recommendations.
Classic Basic Life Support training
It is defined as a module carried out by trained personnel in basic resuscitation (pre-hospital care program staff of the UdeA medical school), which includes two subcomponents of the conventional BLS course that are basic resuscitation and DEA in adults. The duration of the subcomponents is a theoretical part of 30 minutes and a practical part in a low fidelity simulator with 1.5 hours duration.
