AB Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in schools, despite being legislated in Spain, is not established as suchwithin the subjects that children are taught in schools.Objective: to evaluate the acquisition of CPR skills by 11-year-old children after a brief theoretical-practical teaching programmetaught by nurses at school.Methods: 62 students were assessed in a quasi-experimental study on 2 cohorts (51.4% of the sample in control group [CG]). Intotal, 2 sessions were given, a theoretical one, and a practical training for skill development in children, in which the CG performed theCPR in 2-minute cycles and the intervention group in 1-minute cycles. The anthropometric variables recorded were weight andheight, and the variables compression quality and ventilation quality were recorded using the Laerdal ResusciAnne manikin withPersonal Computer/Wireless SkillReport.Results: The assessment showed better results, in terms of BLS sequence performance and use of automated externaldefibrillator, in the CG and after training, except for the evaluation of the 10-second breathing assessment technique. The quality ofchest compressions was better in the CG after training, as was the quality of the ventilations. There were no major differences in CPRquality after training and 4months after the 1-minute and 2-minute training cycles.Conclusions: 11-year-old children do not perform quality chest compressions or ventilations but, considering their age, they areable to perform a BLS sequence correctly.
