Teaching CPR to schoolchildren
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study teaches children aged 7 to 8 how to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) to help someone whose heart has stopped. It aims to see if a short educational program can give kids the knowledge and skills to act in an emergency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child must be 7 or 8 years old.
- The child's school must agree to take part in the study.
- The child has not had CPR training before.
- No health condition (like heart problems or injuries) that would make it unsafe to practice CPR.
- No learning or thinking difficulty that would make it hard to understand and follow instructions.

This study tests a self-training method for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among pediatric department staff. It may help improve CPR performance and patient outcomes.
This trial tests a training program for emergency dispatchers to improve how they handle calls about suspected cardiac arrest. It aims to help them recognize cardiac arrest faster and guide callers through CPR.
This study tests whether augmented reality (a headset that projects images) can guide nurses and technicians during CPR on children. You may be asked to perform chest compressions while using this technology to see if it helps improve performance.
This study tests a different way of doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when someone's heart stops. It aims to see if this adapted approach can improve outcomes for patients.
This trial tests different hand positions during CPR to see which is easier and gives better chest compressions. It may help find a way for people to do CPR more comfortably and effectively.
This trial tests whether mixed reality (a blend of real and virtual worlds) can teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to adults. It may help people who haven't taken a CPR class in the last year learn this lifesaving skill in a new way.
