A standardized Basic Life Support (BLS) provider course is proposed to enable research comparisons. This reference course ensures consistent training for laypersons, improving the evaluation of new BLS teaching methods.

Area of Science:

  • Emergency Medicine
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Education
  • Public Health Training

Background:

  • Evidence on effective public Basic Life Support (BLS) teaching methods is limited.
  • A standardized reference course is essential for comparing new BLS training approaches.
  • Current BLS courses lack a consistent benchmark for research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a standardized Basic Life Support (BLS) provider course for use as a research comparator.
  • To establish a benchmark for evaluating novel BLS teaching methodologies.
  • To facilitate comparative research in layperson BLS education.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to national resuscitation councils within the European Resuscitation Council (ERC).

  • Data on organization, structure, content, and teaching methods of BLS provider courses were collected.
  • Responses from 16 national resuscitation councils were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Remarkable consistency was observed in BLS course organization, structure, content, and methods across European countries.
    • Few significant variations were noted in the reported BLS course components.
    • Survey data indicated a high degree of standardization in existing BLS training.

    Conclusions:

    • A reference BLS provider course for laypersons is proposed as a research tool.
    • The proposed course features a 3h 15min duration, significant practice time, and a 1:6 instructor-to-participant ratio.
    • Implementing this reference course will enhance comparability across studies on layperson BLS teaching.
