What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of basic life support (BLS) education among high school students in Hungary. It compares two teaching methods: instructor feedback and software-based feedback on chest compressions. The goal is to enhance the retention of BLS skills among teenagers, who can act as first responders in emergencies. By implementing a structured BLS curriculum, the study aims to improve the likelihood of bystander intervention during cardiac arrests.
