Abstract

Nonetheless, this is done in less than 25 % of the cardiorespiratory arrests (CRA) witnessed by bystanders. Thus, it is urgent to increase the knowledge of such basic CPR manuevers among the public in general. One strategy consists in the teaching of basic CPR techniques in schools following the recommendations held by specialized institutions. This study analyzes the initiatives carried out in Spain, including the own authors experience acquired during the developed of PROCES, a program aimed a students from 15 to 16 years of age and carried out during the last 10 years in Barcelona.
