Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Basic life support (BLS) skills are crucial not only for healthcare workers but for all lay people as well. Timely recognition of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and the initiation of BLS by bystanders before the arrival of healthcare personnel can improve survival.

There are several methods of spreading BLS skills and improve BLS skill retention among lay people. One of these methods can be educating school children. The introduction of mandatory BLS education in schools was very effective in some European countries to increase the rate of bystander BLS.

The current study aims to investigate the efficacy of a BLS training and BLS curriculum among high school children in Hungary. Moreover, the investigators would like to optimise factors influencing skill retention in this first responder group and aim to compare two types of teaching methods: feedback given by the instructor or software-based feedback on the efficacy of chest compressions during the course.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Instructor feedback

BLS training participants will receive feedback from an experienced instructor certified by European Resuscitation Council on the depth and frequency of chest compressions, duty cycle, chest recoil and the quality of ventilation.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Instructor feedback

Intervention Type OTHER

Feedback is given by the opinion and observation of an experienced instructor.

Software feedback

BLS training participants will receive feedback based on a software (InnoMed CardioAid-1 Trainer AED, Innomed Inc., Budapest, Hungary) on the quality of chest compression (exact frequency, depth of chest compression, chest recoil and duty cycle) and tidal volume during ventilation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Software based feedback

Intervention Type OTHER

Feedback is given by the data of a software (InnoMed CardioAid-1 Trainer AED, Innomed Inc., Budapest, Hungary).
