Construction of educational technologies in cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching for elementary school educators

Abstract

Objective: to report the experience on the production and dissemination of a technology, in the form of an educational booklet, to guide educators who work in elementary school, on the first aid actions that must be taken in the event of a cardiorespiratory arrest. Method: this is a descriptive, experience report type study. The development of the project took place in the first half of 2021, respecting the methodological steps suggested by Sabino for the construction of educational booklets. Result: an educational booklet entitled “Basic Life Support for Elementary School Educators” was developed, containing 28 pages, measuring 297x210mm, edited with the help of Adobe InDesign software. Conclusion: the educational booklet can become a valid tool to be used by educators, with the objective of informing, reinforcing knowledge and training multipliers for cardiorespiratory resuscitation, reducing morbidity and mortality from external causes in childhood and adolescence.
