Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of mortality in the occidental world. Basic Life Support (BLS) is a course designed by the American Heart Association (AHA) that deals with the cardiac emergency education, particularly with cardiopulmonary resuscitation. As the training of laypeople to give first aid in emergency situations and to offer basic life support (BLS) is crucial to save lives and avoid sequelae, this study aimed to enable undergraduates to develop the BLS technique to laypeople. This is a report of an experience involving nursing students in training teachers and high school students in cardiopulmonary resuscitation techniques according to international guidelines for resuscitation, through theoretical and practical classes. For data collection, pre and post tests using questionnaires of multiple choices subject were applied.
