“…At the same time, regardless of the form chosen by the participants, it should be borne in mind that any of them may be beneficial even if they are dependent on the target group and technical, organizational, and financial capabilities [8,18,45]. A systematic review by Allan et al observed that innovative approaches, such as peer and self-based CPR training are equally effective as instructor-led methods when teaching schoolchildren [46]. González-Salvado et al, who performed a systematic review of the literature on training adult laypeople in CPR, emphasized that instructor-led hands-on training supported by feedback devices is superior to other methods but still the fact is that any training already contributes to self-evaluation or the willingness to use skills, with overall positive results regardless of the teaching method used [8].…”

Background: The potential use of manikins made of environmentally friendly materials (biodegradable or easily recycled) could be a milestone in promoting cardiac arrest awareness and mass resuscitation training without the threat of generating large amounts of unprocessable waste. The main aim of the study was to compare the attitude of young adults from Asia and Poland towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation training forms and to evaluate the innovative concept of an ecological resuscitation manikin; Methods: This was a survey-based study conducted during two events in Thailand and Poland in 2023; Results: A total of 226 questionnaires were included in the final analysis. Asian respondents were significantly more likely to choose traditional training than Polish participants (78% vs. 58%, respectively). A manikin that is mainly biodegradable was the most common choice across the entire study group. Young Asians were significantly more likely to choose a traditional stationary course, while Polish respondents were highly significantly more likely to opt for hybrid training (online with practical training provided at the student’s home). Conclusions: In the total study group, young people from Poland and parts of Asia are most likely to participate in traditional on-site instructor-led training, but a comparison across groups showed a significant tendency for young Poles to choose a hybrid training option, i.e., a combination of online and hands-on training. Despite some differences, both study groups showed a strong interest in pro-environmental behavior and the use of more ecofriendly solutions than previously used in resuscitation training.

“…However, the ability to perform the correct compression depth was the most difficult for many of the participants in this study [ 30 ]. There was no difference in CPR skills between the CG and the EG, as evidenced by a recent systematic review and meta-analysis [ 38 ].…”

Background and Objectives: International institutions together with the World Health Organisation recommend the teaching of BLS in schools. Therefore, the objective of this research was to study the feasibility of teaching CPR and AED through the flipped classroom, exploring the medium- and long-term retention of knowledge and practical skills among high school students. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 260 secondary schoolchildren (137 in the experimental group (EG) and 123 in the control group (CG)) between 12 and 14 years old (M = 12.75 ± 1.02). Results: The data revealed that the EG obtained better post-course results in the correct position of the hands (p = 0.011), the depth of external cardiac compression (p > 0.001), and the mean time to apply an effective shock with the AED (p = 0.013). The CG obtained better results in compressions with complete chest re-expansion (p = 0.025). These differences disappeared at 6 months (p > 0.05) and 12 months (p > 0.05). Conclusions: A training program based on the flipped classroom is as effective and viable as traditional training, although more efficient since it is applied in less time, in the sequence of action in BLS, CPR skills, and the application of an effective shock with an AED.

“…While numerous educational interventions have been developed for cardiopulmonary resuscitation [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], studies specifically addressing choking management in younger children remain limited. In a study by Wafik and Tork, nursing students taught first aid skills to preparatory school children, focusing on how to respond when someone is choking [ 7 ].…”

Choking stands as the fourth leading cause of unintentional injury deaths. This research aimed to evaluate the ability of young schoolchildren to grasp and remember choking-management techniques, as well as to compare the effectiveness of instructors. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of choking training on young children. We randomly selected 180 children aged 4–8 years and divided them into a training group (120 children) and a control group (60 children). We evaluated the students’ response to a choking incident with a specific scenario one day before, one day after, and two and seven months after the training, as well as once to the control group. Before the training, there was no significant difference between the groups. However, after the training, the training group’s scores showed a significant increase compared to their pre-training scores and those of the control group. Even at two- and seven-month post-training, the training group’s scores had decreased but remained higher than their pre-training scores and those of the control group. Choking training can benefit young children. Our research highlights the equal importance of both regular classroom teachers and specialized personnel in imparting these essential skills. However, further research is necessary to confirm these observations and explore methods for sustaining the acquired knowledge from the training.
