Abstrakt		Introduction. Cardiopulmonary resuscita - tion is in fl uenced by the quality of basic life support (BLS). Th e primary objective of our study was to compare e ffi ciency in the acquisition of BLS skills using conven - tional training and the 4-stage approach as a teaching method for BLS training. Methods. In a prospective, randomised, 2-parallel group study, 266 fi rst year medi - cal students were randomised to either conventional training or the 4-stage ap - proach using 2000 and 2005 ERC (Euro - pean Resuscitation Council) guidelines. Th e students were tested immediately a ft er receiving training. Th ree ERC-certi fi ed instructors assessed BLS skills using video recordings. Results. Th e students who were taught according to the 4-stage approach using 2000 guidelines preformed signi fi cantly better in the following steps: calls for help (p<0.01), opens the airway (p<0.01), plac - es hands for chest compression correctly (p<0.01) and performs chest compressions correctly (p<0.01), while using 2005 guide - lines, only chest compression hand posi - tion improved signi fi cantly in the 4-stage teaching group (p<0.01). Conclusions. Th e 4-stage approach im - proved the e ffi ciency of several steps of the BLS algorithm and the ability to follow the algorithm in the correct sequence us - ing 2000 ERC guidelines, while in students using the 2005 ERC guidelines only chest compression hand position improved signi fi cantly. Students who were taught according to 2000 ERC guidelines had signi fi cantly better hand position than students who were taught according to 2005 guidelines, independent of teaching method used.
