Innovative Tele-Instruction Approach Impacts Basic Life Support Performance: A Non-inferiority Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sustaining Basic Life Support (BLS) training during the COVID-19 pandemic bears substantial challenges. The limited availability of highly qualified instructors and tight economic conditions complicates the delivery of these life-saving trainings.
