Summary

In a randomised non-inferiority trial the investigators examine two training interventions to train paediatric basic life support to laypersons: Dyad training vs Instructor led training.

For dyad training two participants are guided by video instructions and perform exercises on children resuscitation manikins. The participants take turn to complete the exercises and provide feedback to their peer. The duration is up to 50 minutes Instructor led training of paediatric basic life support in instructor led courses with up to 6 participants per course with hands-on training on children resuscitation manikin. The duration of the courses is up to two hours.

Instructor led training represents the common gold standard for training Paediatric Basic Life Support, however it is inflexible and uses a lot of resources. Dyad training provides a low cost solution with improved flexibility. Consequently a non-inferiority design is chosen as the benefits of dyad training with the same learning outcomes favours the dyad training method.

Prior to the training both groups are informed about and have access to a website with videos, quizzes, pictures and text information on paediatric basic life support and foreign body airway obstruction management.
