Overview

Cross-sectional study compares BLS knowledge retention in instructors and trained providers in three North African countries, indicating gaps in CPR protocols.

Key Points

Instructors showed significantly higher proficiency in key BLS skills, including airway management and chest compression depth, highlighting their advanced training.
Overall CPR knowledge was significantly higher among instructors (P < 0.001), while both groups struggled with CPR termination protocols (19.8% providers, 11.1% instructors).
Logistic regression indicated that prior CPR experience and higher education are critical factors influencing knowledge retention among BLS participants.
Continuous training and addressing knowledge gaps, especially in termination protocols, could improve survival outcomes in low-resource settings.
