Abstract

Survival-rates and neurological outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest significantly depends on the period of time until initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Considering that the emergency medical arrives 8-12 min after collapse, a desperate need of lay-persons able to perform CPR exists. However, bystander CPR-rates in Europe are alarmingly low. The Kid-save-lives initiative is a global call to train youngsters CPR in school to sustainably improve bystander CPR-rates. Thus, a large part of the lay population could be trained in CPR over time, which could save thousands of lives every year. This article provides a brief overview of the scientific knowledge in school resuscitation programs and outlines educational and pedagogical aspects in training of schoolchildren in CPR.
