| Abstract | Objective: Dissemination of pediatric basic life support (PBLS) skills is recommended. E-learning is accessible and cost-effective, but it is currently unknown whether laypersons can learn PBLS through e-learning. The hypothesis of this study was to investigate whether e-learning PBLS is non-inferior to instructor-led training. Study design: Participants were recruited among child-minders and parents of children aged 0–6 years. Participants were randomized to either 2-h instructor-led training or e-learning using an e-learning program (duration 17 min) including an inflatable manikin. After training, participants were assessed in a simulated pediatric cardiac arrest scenario. Tests were video recorded and PBLS skills were assessed independently by two assessors blinded to training method. Primary outcome was the pass rate of the PBLS test (≥8 of 15 skills adequately performed) with a pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 20%. Results: In total 160 participants were randomized 1:1. E-learning was non-inferior to instructor-led training (difference in pass rate −4%; 95% CI −9:0.5). Pass rates were 100% among instructor-led trained (n = 67) and 96% among e-learned (n = 71). E-learners median time spent on the e-learning program was 30 min (range: 15–120 min) and the median number of log-ons was 2 (range: 1–5). After the study, all participants felt that their skills had improved. Conclusion: E-learning PBLS is non-inferior to instructor-led training among child-minders and parents with children aged 0–6 years, although the pass rate was 4% (95% CI −9:0.5) lower with e-learning. © 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Lack of time and opportunity are frequent reasons for not having any CPR training.8,9 Hence, methods to make CPR training more accessible without significant loss of quality are crucial.
