[Teaching resuscitation in different settings and situations]

The 2025 guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) include a dedicated chapter on resuscitation education, emphasizing its key role in improving survival outcomes. The aim of this review is to summarize the educational recommendations of the guidelines, with particular focus on their applicability in Hungary. The guidelines highlight the importance of target group-specific training for both laypersons and healthcare professionals, as well as the integration of modern educational strategies such as blended learning, simulation-based training, gamification, and technology-enhanced learning. Structured feedback and debriefing, the development of non-technical skills, and the importance of instructor training are also emphasized. Key updates in the 2025 guidelines include tailored education for specific populations, training approaches adapted to low-resource settings, and the increasing role of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. Simulation remains a cornerstone of resuscitation education, particularly for improving teamwork and human factors. In Hungary, resuscitation education has significantly developed in recent years, especially in school-based training and community programs. However, challenges remain regarding standardization, unequal resource distribution, and long-term sustainability. The adaptation of ERC recommendations provides an opportunity to enhance training effectiveness and improve survival outcomes nationwide. Orv Hetil. 2026; 167(45): 1825-1834.
