AbstractCardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) is a situation of maximum medical emergency which can be potentially reversed if basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation manoeuvres (CPR) are provided by the first bystander. Nonetheless, this is done in less than 25 % of the cardiorespiratory arrests (CRA) witnessed by bystanders. Thus, it is urgent to increase the knowledge of such basic CPR manoeuvres among the public in general. One strategy consists in the teaching of basic CPR techniques in schools following the recommendations made by specialized institutions. This study analyzes the initiatives carried out in Spain, including the authors' own experience acquired during the development of PROCES, a program aimed a students from 15 to 16 years of age and carried out during the last 10 years in Barcelona.
