Introduction: clinical ultrasonography has undergone a significant development in recent years. Its use has spread to most medical specialties and has ceased to be a complementary examination and has been integrated into the clinical approach. Objective: to describe the usefulness of ultrasonography in cerebral- cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Method: a search for information was carried out in the databases PubMed/Medline, Scopus and SciELO, using a combination of terms. Twenty-nine references were chosen. Development: during cerebral-cardiopulmonary arrest, ultrasonography allows differentiation of cardiac rhythm, finding reversible causes of arrest, performing ultrasound-guided procedures during resuscitation, displaying real-time physiological data reflecting dynamic changes in response to medical treatments, and providing prognostic information. The identification of causes impacts on the management and prognosis, and is also applicable to the evaluation of the quality of chest compressions. There are different protocols, each with its own features. Ultrasound has a positive influence on the return of spontaneous circulation, survival to admission and survival to hospital discharge. Conclusions: the use of ultrasound during cerebral cardiopulmonary resuscitation is based on the diagnosis of these acute cardiorespiratory events, the identification of reversible causes, evaluation of the technique, selection of therapy, guiding cardiorespiratory resuscitation, avoiding a new event and assessing the functional status after resuscitation. The mastery of clinical echocardiography by all health care providers in the event of cardiopulmonary arrest is a necessity.

Introduction: the course of basic brain-cardiopulmonary resuscitation is included in the curricular design of the undergraduate degree in Medicine, confirming the need to strengthen the learning process in students through the establishment of didactic materials. Objective: to create a complementary leaflet for the study of a basic course for brain-cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Medicine Studies. Method: a pedagogical research was carried out for the basic brain-cardiopulmonary resuscitation during 2018-2019 academic year at Pedro Borrás Astorga University Polyclinic in Pinar del Río city, Cuba, mainly applying dialectical materialistic method; which allowed the use of theoretical and empirical methods. Development: a complementary leaflet was created as a teaching tool for medical students in the first-academic year who are taught the basic course of brain-cardiopulmonary resuscitation; in consequence it guarantees a scientific and professional training, aimed at developing knowledge and skills that are easy to be understood. Conclusions: a complementary leaflet was available for the basic course of brain-cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as a valuable educational tool for medicine-students at first-academic year in order to train them professionally into the province or outside it.

Introduction: a system of questions for a particular subject must be able to constantly investigate the relevance of work, promote the acquisition of skills and strengthen a learning capacity. Objective: to develop a system of questions for the study of the basic cardiopulmocerebral resuscitation course itself. Method: a pedagogical investigation was carried out related to the study program of the basic cardiopulmocerebral resuscitation course during the 2018-2019 academic period at the “Pedro Borrás Astorga” University Polyclinic in the city of Pinar del Río, governed by the dialectical materialist method and the use of theoretical and empirical methods. The research was approved by the scientific council and institutional ethics committee. Development: a question system was developed as a tool of the teaching-learning process for students in the first year of the Medicine career who received their own basic cardiopulmocerebral resuscitation course; thereby guaranteeing comprehensive scientific training, with acquisition of knowledge and skills that are easy to understand. Conclusions: a question system was developed for the study of the basic cardiopulmocerebral resuscitation course that represents a valuable educational instrument for first year students of the Medicine career.
