Este enfoque contribuye a mejorar la calidad de la formación de instructores, un aspecto crucial para garantizar la calidad de la RCP pediátrica. AB Objective: To evaluate the results and quality of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instructor training courses.Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of the results of 24 pediatric CPR instructor courses held over 21 years (1999 to 2019). The results of participants' evaluation of theory and practice sessions were analyzed. In addition, participants were asked to answer an anonymous survey to assess their opinion on the quality of theory and practice lessons, course organization and methodology, and instructor training. The results were compared by professional groups.Results: A total of 560 participants completed the instructor course. Of them, 554 passed theory and practice tests (98.9 %). The mean score obtained in theory tests was 9.2 (0.8) out of 10. The mean score obtained in all practice tests was > 3.5 out of 5. Participants evaluated all the aspects of the course (theory and practice content, organization, teaching methodology, and instructors) with mean scores over 8 out of 10.Conclusions: Specific pediatric and neonatal CPR instructor courses are a cornerstone in the process of CPR training and ensuring the homogeneity and quality of training. Most of the participants obtained the qualification of instructors and their evaluation of the course was very positive.
