The outcome of children with an out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest is still poor, but bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation can increase survival and minimise severe neurological sequelae. While teaching basic life support is standardised in emergency medicine classes, paediatric basic life support (PBLS) in neonates and toddlers is under‐represented in paediatric curricula during university education. The appropriate mixture of E‐learning and peer teaching lessons remains controversial in teaching paediatric basic skills. However, an increasing number of medical schools and paediatric classes switch their curricula to much cheaper and less tutor‐dependent E‐learning modules. We hypothesise that a peer teaching lesson is superior to a PBLS video demonstration with co‐extensive contents and improves knowledge, skills and adherence to resuscitation guidelines.
