Clinical Trial Summary

This proposal aims to describe research that will utilize first aid in primary education students and will attempt to identify the frequency with which the training should be repeated and the type of trainer who will carry out the training program.

Taking into account children's cognitive and psychological development, students will be trained in the following topics: calling an ambulance, managing bleeding, handling an unconscious patient, drowning, and managing a head injury.
