Teaching basic life support (BLS) in schools is crucial to empower students to act in emergency situations. Several studies highlight the effectiveness of teacher training, as they become knowledge multipliers in BLS. This documentary study frames BLS in five European countries that have legislated its teaching in schools and characterizes teaching and assessment methodologies. The results point to the improvem...
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global public health problem. Lay bystanders witness almost half of OHCA, so early recognition is critical to allow immediate initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by the bystander. The present investigation aims to analyze the most recent scientific evidence of the effect of bystander CPR on survival after an OHCA. A systematic literature reviewwas carried...
Introduction: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by bystanders is more effective than any other therapeutic intervention following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. International organizations emphasize the need for high-quality training for bystanders in CPR, promoting confidence and proficiency to act in emergencies. In Portugal, the teaching basic life support (BLS) in the 9th grade within the Na...
Uma paragem cardiopulmonar é um evento súbito, que consiste na interrupção ou falência súbita das funções cardíaca e respiratória. As compressões torácicas e a desfibrilhação precoce constituem os principais determinantes da sobrevivência deste acontecimento (Greif et al., 2021). Por isso, o Suporte Básico de Vida realizada pelo bystander é decisiva numa paragem cardiopulmonar extra-hospitalar. Em Portugal, o S...
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the main causes of death in the world. The increase in the survival rate to this sudden event is influenced by the chain of survival (CoS) procedures. The school is the opportune institution to promote the education of citizens in basic life support (BLS), increasing the number of bystanders trained for effective action in the first two links of the CoS. This stud...
An out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the world. The survival rate can be influenced by the chain of survival. The school is the institution that has the opportunity to promote the education of citizens in basic life support (BLS), increasing the number of trained bystanders. This study aimed to identify the theoretical and practical knowledge and self-reported skills...
Classrooms reflect the plurality of society. This diversity presents itself as beneficial to everyone. Better education implies that everyone is included and that their voices are heard. This work aims to raise awareness of a pedagogical practice that aims to develop reading and writing skills with a group of students who had low school attendance in previous school years. This is an observational, longitudinal...
Introdução A reanimação cardiopulmonar (RCP) realizada por bystanders é mais eficaz do que qualquer outra intervenção terapêutica após uma paragem cardiorrespiratória extra-hospitalar (PCREH). Organizações internacionais destacam a necessidade de treino de alta qualidade de bystanders na área da RCP, que é promotor da confiança e da proficiência para a atuação em caso de PCREH. Em Portugal, o ensino do suporte ...
Ante una parada cardíaca extrahospitalaria (PCEH), la reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) realizada por espectadores (bystanders) es más eficaz que cualquier otra intervención terapéutica. La capacitación de alta calidad de los espectadores en el área de RCP se recomienda actualmente a nivel mundial debido a la confianza y competencia que promueve en la actuación en caso de PCEH. En Portugal, en el curso 2015-2016...
