Methodology of Teaching Resuscitation to People without Medical Education

Abstract

The rate of sudden cardiac arrest mortality is increasing nowadays. At the moment, based on the developed legislation, people without medical education are taught the first aid rules, including resuscitation procedures. The number of students increases every year, but training has no significant effect, which is due to the fact that, on the one hand, teachers do not have sufficient basic medical knowledge, and on the other hand, training is based on the method developed for health professionals. The paper deals with the methodology of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm for people without medical education developed and introduced into the learning process by the Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor Viktor Mukhin. The paper aims to test the effectiveness of the modified methodology of teaching the required first aid minimum– cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm to students and different population groups. The suggested structural and logical algorithm of resuscitation, including a substantiated sequence of stages of resuscitation procedures, in a stressful situation, is the most effective in achieving the ultimate outcome in providing first aid by any person.
