Summary

60,000 people suffer an out of hospital cardiac arrest in the United Kingdom (UK) every year. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rates are dismal (30%) compared with places where CPR education is mandatory for all school children (\>50%). Strategies are needed to increase these rates through innovative approaches. Lifesaver (www.life-saver.org.uk) is an immersive interactive programme/application that presents such an opportunity. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Lifesaver on CPR attitudes, knowledge, skills acquisition and retention in school children. Additionally, it aims to examine whether Lifesaver provides additional benefits in terms of CPR attitudes, knowledge, skills acquisitions and retention in school children when combined with face-to-face BLS training.
