Extract

Of the 110 million people in Brazil, only 4% to 6% read regularly; nevertheless, 50% have access to a television set. Instructors, audio-visual training aids, and manikins are virtually non-existent. The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of teaching cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) through television (TV). Two representative groups were taught in this study: 1) high school students; and 2) regular army recruits. The first group because 50% of the population is under age 18; the second group of 18 to 19 years because they better represent the general population.
