In sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the most important elements of the chain of survival. Since 2015, international health societies and associations have recognized KIDS SAVE LIVES (KSL) as an essential initiative on CPR principles dissemination among schoolchildren. Children can be potential multipliers of the CPR competencies by teaching families, relatives, and friends. This review aimed to determine the main CPR issues raised in the KSL-associated publications.
We found 12 Editorials, 9 Letters, 2 Special Reports, 4 Reviews, 2 Guidelines, 9 Original Articles and 17 Conference Presentations on KSL history, the schoolchildren CPR education, and KSL program implementation in several countries. In nine original studies, the main issues were instructors' and learners' CPR knowledge, skills, and retention, gender and physical aspects affecting CPR performance, types of KSL programs and new technologies to teach CPR.
The KSL-associated literature is limited to support KSL benefits. However, the KSL could potentially contribute to improve out-of-hospital CPR performed by lay people at earlier age in different countries. Children are an important target group to diffuse CPR principles ('CHECK-CALL-COMPRESS'), as they are curious, motivated and enjoy teaching others.
在院外心搏骤停中，旁观者心肺复苏（CPR）是生存链中最重要的环节之一。自 2015 年以来，国际卫生协会和组织已经将儿童拯救生命（KIDS SAVE LIVES，KSL）视为在学童中传播 CPR 原则的重要举措。儿童可以通过教授家人、亲戚和朋友 CPR 技能，成为 CPR 能力的潜在传播者。本综述旨在确定与 KSL 相关出版物中提出的主要 CPR 问题。
我们发现了 12 篇社论、9 篇信件、2 篇特别报告、4 篇综述、2 项指南、9 篇原始文章和 17 篇会议演讲，内容涉及 KSL 的历史、对学童的 CPR 教育以及在多个国家实施 KSL 计划。在 9 项原始研究中，主要问题是指导员和学习者的 CPR 知识、技能和保留情况、影响 CPR 表现的性别和身体因素、KSL 计划的类型以及教授 CPR 的新技术。
与 KSL 相关的文献仅限于支持 KSL 的益处。然而，KSL 有可能有助于改善不同国家的非专业人员在更早年龄进行的院外 CPR。儿童是传播 CPR 原则（“检查-呼救-按压”）的重要目标群体，因为他们好奇心强、积极性高且乐于教授他人。
