Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Die Ersthelferreanimationsquoten in Deutschland liegen deutlich unter den Möglichkeiten. Eines der zugrunde liegenden Probleme könnte die zu späte Unterweisung im Verlauf der Lernkarriere sein.

Ziel der Arbeit

In diesem Beitrag werden theoriegeleitete Argumente diskutiert, die einen Beginn der Reanimationsausbildung bereits in der Schulzeit unterstützen. Außerdem wird beleuchtet, welche Strategien dazu bisher in Deutschland verfolgt werden.

Material und Methoden

Diskussion auf der Basis von verfügbarer Literatur.

Ergebnisse

Eine frühzeitige systematische und sequenziell aufbauende Schulung von spezifischen, evidenzbasierten Maßnahmen zur Reanimation könnte eine Möglichkeit zur Verbesserung der Reanimationsergebnisse sein. Allerdings finden sich derzeit in Deutschland nur punktuelle, wenn auch sehr engagierte Aktivitäten, die selten nachhaltig angelegt sind. Darüber hinaus sind die Inhalte heterogen und eine Qualitätskontrolle ist beinahe unmöglich.

Schlussfolgerung

Eine nationale Initiative zur flächendeckenden, verpflichtenden Einführung von Reanimationstrainings im Verlauf der schulischen Ausbildung ist aus gesellschaftlicher Sicht unbedingt zu fordern. Diese Initiative sollte konzertiert auf möglichst breiter Basis der Interessensgruppen verfolgt werden.

Abstract

Background

Bystander resuscitation rates in Germany are far lower than they could be. One of the potential reasons may be the fact that training in this field is initiated at a time point too late in the lifelong learning schedule.

Aims

The aim of this article is to give an overview of theory-driven considerations to support the implementation of resuscitation training programs in primary and secondary school learning. In addition, strategies are described which are already applied in this context in Germany.

Material and methods

A discussion on available relevant literature formed the basis for this article.

Results

Sequentially structured programs with an early start during the school career are recommended. They should only include essential evidence-based measures of resuscitation. In Germany at present only few, even if inspiring, initiatives are implemented and structures used are frequently not sustainable. Programs are heterogeneous and quality control is nearly impossible.

Conclusion

A national initiative is highly recommended to implement a nationwide compulsory resuscitation training program during school education. This initiative should be based on the broadest possible consensus of stakeholders.
