“…Likewise, there have been similar studies conducted elsewhere which have assessed the willingness of the teachers to undergo formal certified training and which have also evaluated the implementation of these training programmes in schools. 20,21,23 Similar results were observed in a study conducted in Saudi Arabia wherein more than 75 percent of the teachers were willing to enrol in CPR training courses. 24 While most teachers in our study knew the answers to basic questions like emergency service number and what the immediate response would be to a child who became unresponsive, the level of knowledge with regard to more technical questions pertaining to CPR and AED was comparatively lower.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess basic life support (BLS) knowledge and attitudes among school teachers in India, and to elicit school preparedness in handling medical emergencies.Methods: Using a two stage sampling technique, 198 teachers from 10 schools in a metropolitan city participated in the study. A pre-validated questionnaire was administered to assess school teacher knowledge of BLS, and the principals of the schools provided information regarding the facilities available to manage health emergencies.Results: Although more than half of the surveyed teachers were aware of the term BLS, only 7 percent were trained in resuscitation. Thirteen percent of teachers had encountered emergencies in the classroom. Most of the schools maintained a basic first aid kit but lacked other equipment necessary to manage more serious health emergencies.Conclusions: Our study suggests that although teachers may be aware of BLS, they lack formal training and schools may be poorly equipped to tackle medical emergencies. It is therefore necessary to regularly train teachers in BLS and ensure that schools are provided with resuscitation equipment to enable them to handle health emergencies in children.

“…The request for trained professional is also cited in the literature. Particularly, a lack confidence among teachers related to providing CPR and AED training to students (McCluskey, Moore, Campbell, & Topping, ; Mpotos, Vekeman, Monsieurs, Derese, & Valcke, ).…”

The survey was completed by 148 schools (22%); 64% reported providing CPR training and 54% provided AED training. Reported barriers to implementation included instructor availability, cost, and a lack of equipment. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the sample characteristics and implementation rates. Mandates without resources and support do not ensure implementation of CPR/AED training in high schools. Full public health benefits of a CPR mandate will not be realized until barriers to implementation are identified and eliminated through use of available, accessible public health resources.

“…The use of teachers as facilitators has many advantages, as it is easy to motivate them on the basis of their own relevant CPR training. 30,31 Teachers are receptive to the topic and are role models, they have expertise in educational methods, and it is easier for schools to organise their work than it is to arrange for external personnel to conduct the training events. 14,15 Other types of trainer, such as medical students or peer pupils with previous training (using the "jigsaw" model), have also been effectively used to facilitate BLS training.…”
