Life Supporting First Aid (LSFA) Self Training for the Public

Lay persons can learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with the instructors' method, and by self-training with the use of manikins. LSFA includes airway control (head-tilt, jaw thrust), mouth-to-mouth ventilation, control of external bleeding by direct compression and elevation, positioning for coma (stable side position) and shock (horizontal, legs up), and extrication from a wreck (rescue pull). LSFA so far has not included chest compressions for cardiac arrest. LSFA capability by bystanders who would treat injured victims in mass disasters might be the most important component to consider for disaster response. A LSFA self-training system, including a manual which coaches skill practice on one another, and an attractive first aid kit (A. Laerdal) was found effective in a study carried out in Norway. The present controlled study was to compare two self-training systems (designed by A. Laerdal et al), one with and one without the use of manikins, with the presently prevalent instructors' method and an untrained control group. The trainees were high school students in a typical community in Indiana PA, USA. The study was carried out in 1978–1979.
