This line of work and research, headed by the professors of the Department of Medicine of the UGR Antonio Cárdenas Cruz and Francisco Manuel Parrilla Ruiz, together with the researcher Alexander Romero Linares, has made it possible to develop cardiopulmonary resuscitation classes, training given to 157 5th and 6th grade students at the HH school.

This is a novel strategy, since this training is usually reserved for secondary school or higher education students. In addition, in this experience methodological resources from virtual teaching have been used, very little used until now for these training processes. The classes have familiarized the youngest with resuscitation techniques. The students have reached a level of acquisition of competences greater than 65%. The researchers have also detected a high interest on the part of the girls and boys in teaching the techniques learned to adults in their environment.
The classes have been taught in a virtual format, since they have coincided with the prevention measures against Covid-19, and are the basis of the scientific article Adapting evaluation method of skills acquisition in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation among year 5 and year 6 primary school pupils during the COVID-19 lockdown: a pilot study, published in the magazine European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences.
