Literacy in CPR: A Training Handbook for School Teachers was designed and written for all school teachers. Teachers should acquire adequate knowledge and skills to provide effective resuscitation, as they are often the first to identify the occurrence of cardiac arrest in any medical emergency within a school setting. Despite the abundance of CPR-related sources available, it was designed with content and coverage explicit for medical sciences backgrounds; therefore, there was a need for a training handbook that was written for the introductory learner, which covers the fundamentals at a reasonable depth. This handbook describes the steps and processes involved in acquiring, retaining, and executing the most effective method for rendering Basic Life Support (BLS). The handbook, however, is not intended to be used as a single resource; additional hands-on practice is very important and should be accompanied simultaneously to ensure the successful acquisition of skills and knowledge.
