Objetivo: Evaluar los conocimientos de los estudiantes de educación secundaria sobre soporte vital básico y analizar las asociaciones entre el nivel de conocimiento y las variables sociodemográficas y académicas. Método: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, transversal y correlacional. Muestra constituida por 59 estudiantes de educación secundaria de una Escuela Secundaria del área metropolitana de Porto - Portugal. Se recurrieron análisis descriptivos, coeficiente de correlación de Pearson y prueba t (o pruebas no paramétricas cuando no se verificaban los supuestos). Resultados: 35 (59,3%) tenían formación en soporte vital básico y 52 (88,1%) tenían interés en realizar la formación. Solo siete (11,9%) tenían conocimiento sobre un desfibrilador externo automático y 14 (23,7%) identificaron en qué momento se debe pedir ayuda diferenciada. Conclusión: El conocimiento sobre soporte vital básico puede contribuir a obtener mejores resultados en situaciones de paro cardiorrespiratorio, debiendo los estudiantes aumentar las competencias en esta área, con recurso a la formación en el contexto escolar.

Introducción. La reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) tiene una baja tasa de supervivencia tras la parada cardíaca. Según el Registro Español de Parada Cardiaca Extrahospitalaria (OHSCAR), su incidencia es de 24,2 por cada 1.000.000 habitantes, con solo un 9.8% de supervivencia al alta. Desde 2005, los organismos internacionales de reanimación han recomendado enfocarse en realizar una RCP de calidad y en nuevas herramientas para optimizarla. Objetivo. Evaluar la utilidad de la capnografia y la oximetría cerebral para mejorar la calidad de la RCP y predecir los resultados clínicos y neurológicos. Metodología. Se revisaron artículos en Science Direct, Medline y Cochrane Library, seleccionando investigaciones primarias y revisiones sistemáticas publicadas entre 2011 y 2024. La búsqueda incluyó términos relacionados con el dióxido de carbono al final de la espiración y la oximetría cerebral en RCP. Resultados. La capnografía permite monitorear en tiempo real la ventilación y el rendimiento cardíaco, siendo un predictor clave de la restauración de la circulación espontánea (RCE). Valores superiores a 10 mmHg se asocian con una mayor probabilidad de RCE. La oximetría cerebral mide la saturación de oxígeno cerebral e indica la eficacia de la RCP, con valores superiores al 40% correlacionados con mejores resultados. Discusión. La capnografía y la oximetría cerebral son herramientas esenciales en la RCP. Aunque la oximetría cerebral muestra potencial en la predicción del daño neurológico, se requieren más estudios para su implementación. Integrar estas mediciones puede mejorar los resultados de la RCP. ABSTRACT Introduction. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has a low survival rate after cardiac arrest. According to the Spanish Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry (OHSCAR), the incidence is 24.2 per 1,000,000 inhabitants, with only a 9.8% survival rate at discharge. Since 2005, international resuscitation organizations have recommended focusing on performing high-quality CPR and developing new tools to optimize it. Objective. To evaluate the usefulness of capnography and cerebral oximetry in improving the quality of CPR and predicting clinical and neurological outcomes. Methodology. Articles were reviewed in Science Direct, Medline, and the Cochrane Library, selecting primary research and systematic reviews published between 2011 and 2024. The search included terms related to end-tidal carbon dioxide and cerebral oximetry in CPR. Results. Capnography allows real-time monitoring of ventilation and cardiac performance, serving as a key predictor of the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). Values above 10 mmHg are associated with a higher probability of ROSC. Cerebral oximetry measures brain oxygen saturation and indicates CPR effectiveness, with values above 40% correlated with better outcomes. Discussion. Capnography and cerebral oximetry are essential tools in CPR. Although cerebral oximetry shows potential in predicting neurological damage, more studies are needed for its implementation. Integrating these measurements could improve CPR outcomes.

Introduction: Every year, five million people around the world experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and less than 40 % receive any assistance before the arrival of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Ambulance operators (AO) take care of people experiencing an OHCA, stabilize and then transfer them. In Medellín, Colombia, there is a public AO and several private providers, but the information about an OHCA and the operational characteristics during the response to the event are limited. Objective: To estimate the incidence of OHCA and to explore the factors associated with survival after the event in Medellín city. Methods: Retrospective, population-based cohort study. All the medical records of patients experiencing an OHCA who were assessed and treated by ambulance operators, (AO) of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and private agencies in Medellin city were reviewed. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis and the annual incidence of the event standardized for the general population was estimated. Potential survival-associated factors reported as OR with their corresponding 95% CI were explored. Results: A total of 1,447 patient records with OHCA between 2018 and 2019 were analyzed. The event incidence rate for the number of cases assessed was 28.1 (95 % CI 26.0-30.3) and 26.9 (95 % CI 24.9- 29.1) cases per 100,000 inhabitants/year for 2018 and 2019, respectively; the incidence rate of treated OHCA was 2.6 (95 % CI 2.0-3.3) and 3.2 (95 % CI 2.5-4.0) per 100,000 inhabitants/year, for 2018 and 2019. Survival on arrival at hospitals of treated cases was 14.2 % (95 % CI 5.5-22.8) and 15.5 % (95 % CI 7.4-23.5) for 2018 and 2019, respectively. Conclusions: This study portrays the operating and care characteristics of the population experiencing OHCA in Medellín city. The incidence rate of the event and the survival were lower than those reported in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sudden cardiac death is a common occurrence. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a global public health problem suffered by ≈3.8 million people annually. Progress has been made in the knowledge of this disease, its prevention, and treatment; however, most events occur in people without a previous diagnosis of heart disease. Due to its multifactorial and complex nature, it represents a challenge in public health, so it led us to work in a consensus to achieve the implementation of cardioprotected areas in Mexico as a priority mechanism to treat these events. Public access cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation require training of non-medical personnel, who are usually the first responders in the chain of survival. They should be able to establish a basic and efficient CPR and use of the automatic external defibrillator (AED) until the emergency services arrive at the scene of the incident. Some of the current problems in Mexico and alternative solutions for them are addressed in the present work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción. La parada cardiorrespiratoria consiste en la interrupción brusca, inesperada y potencialmente reversible de la respiración y circulación espontánea. Representa el extremo más grave de situaciones de emergencia con elevadas tasas de mortalidad. Objetivo. Determinar el nivel de conocimiento acerca de reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) en el personal de enfermería de las especialidades troncales del Hospital Nacional de Itauguá en julio de 2023. Materiales y métodos. Estudio observacional descriptivo y analítico en el que se incluyó al personal de enfermería de las especialidades troncales del Hospital Nacional de Itauguá en julio de 2023. Las variables estudiadas fueron sexo, edad, especialidad troncal y nivel de conocimientos en RCP. Se utilizó el cuestionario de conocimientos para enfermeros sobre reanimación cardio-pulmonar. Para la comparación de conocimientos entre las especialidades se utilizó la prueba chi cuadrado a un nivel de significancia de 0,05. Resultados. Se incluyeron 122 enfermeros/as, 36 de ginecología/obstetricia, 33 de medicina interna, 30 de pediatría y 23 de cirugía general. La edad media fue 37,63 ± 7,75 años, 69,7% de sexo femenino y 54,9% del departamento Central. El puntaje promedio global fue 5,55±2,72, significativamente (p = 0,001) mayor en la especialidad de cirugía general (6,61±2,39) comparado a la de pediatría (3,40±2,59). El nivel de conocimientos fue insuficiente en el 56,6% de los participantes, 83% de la especialidad de pediatría y 43,5% de cirugía general. Conclusión. El nivel de conocimiento del personal de enfermería sobre reanimación cardiopulmonar es deficiente y sobre todo en la especialidad de pediatría.

Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) and Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) are global public health problems suffered by ≈3.8 million people annually; they represent a challenge in public health, which leads us to work on regulations, legislation, and consensus to implement the formation of protected Cardio areas in Mexico. The increase in cardio-protected spaces and the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) in the world have contributed to improving the survival of OHCA. The use of AEDs and early public access defibrillation requires training for non-medical personnel, who are generally the first to assist and start the chain of survival, with basic and efficient Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) until emergency services arrive at the scene of the incident. In this article, we present a structured guide to the steps that must be followed to accredit a cardioprotected space in Mexico and distinguish between public access defibrillation and a cardio-protected area.

Introduction: The objective is to describe the utility of the Critical Administration Threshold (CAT) as a tool in hemostatic resuscitation in patients with severe trauma and REBOA. Methods: Retrospective review between January 2015 and June 2020 of adult patients with hemorrhage secondary to trauma with or without REBOA in a level I trauma center in Cali, Colombia. Demographic variables, trauma severity, clinical status, transfusion needs, time to CAT+ and number of CAT achieved (1, 2 or 3) were recorded. Results: Ninety-three patients were included, in which REBOA was used in 36 and traditional management in 57. The REBOA group had a higher bleeding volume (3000 ml), IQR: 1950-3625 ml vs the control group (1500 ml, IQR: 700-2975 ml) (p<0.001) and a higher rate of PRBC units transfused in the first 6 hours (median 5, IQR: 4-9); p=0.015 and in the first 24 hours (median 6, IQR: 4-11); p=0.005. There were no statistically significant differences in the number of CAT+ patients between groups or time to CAT+. However, CAT+ status during the first 30 minutes of surgery was higher in the REBOA Group (24/36, 66.7%) vs. the control group (17/57, 29.8%; p=0.001), having this group a higher in-hospital mortality rate vs. CAT-patients. Conclusion: CAT is a useful tool in the hemostatic resuscitation of patients with trauma and REBOA that could predict early mortality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: La capacitación en reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) y uso correcto del desfibrilador externo automático (DEA) permite la intervención de los ciudadanos legos en situaciones de paro cardíaco extrahospitalario (PCEH). En Paraguay, la Ley n° 5.578/2016 establece el uso obligatorio del DEA en centros de concurrencia masiva (CCM). Objetivo: Evaluar la efectividad de un programa de capacitación intensiva en reanimación cardiopulmonar y uso del desfibrilador externo automático entre representantes de centros de concurrencia masiva en Asunción julio-setiembre 2023. Metodología: Estudio cuasiexperimental antes/después en representantes de CCM (Universidades, Shoppings, Clubes sociales/deportivos Gimnasios, Consecionario Automotríz, Complejos residenciales y Supermercados). Se obtuvieron datos de universidades del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencias, de fuentes municipales y la Cámara de Comercio. Se capacitó entre 1-3 representantes/CCM mediante talleres teórico-práctico sobre RCP básico y uso correcto del DEA en PCEH con un cuestionario validado (alfa de Cronbach: 0,75).

In clinical practice, it is not rare to encounter situations in which parents and families are asked to leave the child alone with the health care team in rooms full of devices throughout the performance of procedures, which at times may give rise not only to conflicts but, more importantly, emotional sequelae in children or adolescents.We conducted a narrative review of the literature by searching the digital library of the public health care system of Andalusia for articles concerning the experiences of health care professionals and families with the accompaniment of paediatric patients during health care procedures. We restricted the search to studies published in Spanish or English and conducted in humans.The review evinced the need to humanise care in order to improve care quality. The need to accompany minors is supported by the evidence from works that have analysed the factors involved in the persistence of these behaviours and attitudes in both professionals and parents. We consider it necessary to develop institutional policies and appoint mediators to compile the statements of different national and international societies, taking into account legal aspects but, above all, the pertinent values from a health care ethics perspective, and in pursuit of the best interests of the child. Resumen: En la práctica clínica no es infrecuente observar situaciones asistenciales en los cuales se invita a progenitores y familia a dejar a los menores en soledad junto al equipo asistencial en estancias repletas de tecnología durante la realización de procedimientos, dando lugar en ocasiones a conflictos, pero sobre todo con consecuencias emocionales en los niños o adolescentes.Se ha realizado una revisión narrativa de la literatura mediante búsqueda bibliográfica en la biblioteca virtual del sistema sanitario público de Andalucía siendo los criterios de inclusión utilizados, estudios que conciernen a las experiencias de profesionales sanitarios y familiares sobre el acompañamiento de la población pediátrica en los procedimientos asistenciales. El resultado de la búsqueda se limitó a estudios en español, inglés y en humanos.Esta revisión, pone de manifiesto la necesidad de humanizar la asistencia sanitaria para mejorar la calidad de la atención. Se justifica la necesidad de acompañamiento de los menores, a través de trabajos que han analizado los factores que intervienen en la permanencia de estas conductas y actitudes tanto por profesionales como padres. Se recomienda la necesidad de políticas institucionales y figuras mediadoras que recojan las declaraciones de algunas sociedades nacionales e internacionales teniendo en cuenta aspectos legales pero sobre todo los valores en juego desde una ética del cuidado y búsqueda del interés superior del menor.

Introducción. Se describe la utilidad del umbral crítico de administración (CAT por su denominación en inglés) como herramienta para la reanimación hemostática en pacientes con trauma severo y oclusión endovascular aórtica. Métodos. Revisión retrospectiva de pacientes adultos con hemorragia por trauma, con o sin oclusión endovascular aórtica (REBOA), atendidos entre enero de 2015 y junio de 2020, en un centro de trauma nivel I en Cali, Colombia. Se registraron variables demográficas, severidad del trauma, estado clínico, requerimiento transfusional, tiempo hasta CAT+ y CAT alcanzado (1, 2 ó 3). Resultados. Se incluyeron 93 pacientes, se utilizó REBOA en 36 y manejo tradicional en 57. El grupo REBOA presentó mayor volumen de sangrado (mediana de 3000 ml, RIC: 1950-3625 ml) frente al grupo control (mediana de1500 ml, RIC: 700-2975ml) (p

Advanced heart failure is becoming more frequent and, in this population, left ventricular assist devices have emerged in the last thirty years as bridge-to-transplant or destination therapy for those with a contraindication for transplant. These devices are continuous flow, contrary to normal hemodynamic physiology, which leads to associated complications with the interaction between the device and the patient, a phenomenon known as “haemocompatibility”. One of its implications is the absence of a central pulse and the need to measure blood pressure through infrequent methods such as Doppler. Various complications are frequently associated with this and can be grouped under the mnemonic A2B2C2D2, including those specific and related to the device. Each of these must be recognized for early and prompt diagnosis and treatment, including prompt cardiopulmonary resuscitation, if indicated, to impact the survival of these patients.

The number of air travelers has increased over the past years, and after the limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, are expected to increase further. Given these conditions, the possibility for a health professional to find himself needing to assist an in-flight cardiac arrest is also increased. The present work describes some of the most common problems in managing an inflight cardiac arrest and emphasizes the relevance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance and automated external defibrillators (AED) use on board of commercial airliners.

Introduction: Satisfactory performance in Neonatal Resuscitation requires continuous training, and several technologies can enhance its scope. This study was carried out to evaluate the use of an educational platform by medical students in a Neonatal Resuscitation virtual course. Materials and methods: Descriptive study with the data available on the Neonatal Resuscitation virtual course platform, evaluating the use of a population corresponding to the total number of undergraduate Medicine students from the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) who enrolled as students to take the Paediatrics course in the last year of their studies during the years 2018 and 2019 in Lima, Peru. Results: Data from 379 sixth-year medical students in the 2018-I, 2019-I, and 2019-II semesters were included. Students entered the virtual course an average of 23 days before taking their online exam, and the average theory review time in the virtual system was 120 min. Students with outstanding performance in their scores completed 2 virtual exams, but there was no difference in the other characteristics. Conclusions: The sequence developed in the Neonatal Resuscitation virtual course, which begins with ''learn, see, and practice'', offers a greater capacity to retain the knowledge and skills acquired. The virtual offer of the theoretical component of Neonatal Resuscitation allows the use of innovative tools that make it possible to achieve a high performance of medical students when completing the virtual course of Neonatal Resuscitation. Resumen: Introducción: El desempeño satisfactorio en reanimación neonatal requiere entrenamiento continuo y diversas tecnologías pueden potenciar su alcance.

Introduction: Basic life support training in school age is a topical issue because, with adequate training, any person can help save a life. Methods: Cluster clinical trial with data collection through an ad hoc self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire. The target population encompassed the students aged 4–6 years enrolled in 49 educational centres. The centres were randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. The intervention group was trained with the RCParvulari® methodology, consisting of theoretical and practical training on the first link of the chain of survival. The control group only received theoretical training. We evaluated participants before and immediately after the intervention and between 3 and 12 months post intervention by means of the questionnaire. We assessed the acquisition and retention over time of the knowledge and skills covered in the training compared to previous trainings in both groups. Results: A total of 1327 schoolchildren (79% of the target population) participated. The level of knowledge acquired immediately after training and after 3–12 months compared to baseline was significantly better (P

Background: the correct application of life support for cardiorespiratory arrest (CPR) creates a short gap between the life or death of a person, hence the importance of having the necessary preparation to perform it. Objective: to explore the training and criteria of professionals about the management of basic and advanced life support in the event of cardiorespiratory arrest, at the Canoa Health Center, Ecuador, between July 2022 and February 2023. Methods: a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in the health center and during the time period declared. The study population consisted of 15 professionals, and included medical, nursing, obstetric and dental personnel. The information was collected through an anonymous questionnaire. The results were analyzed according to descriptive statistics. Results: almost half of the professionals were doctors (46.7 %), followed by nursing graduates (33.3 %). 66.66 % have taken basic or advanced life support courses, 86.7 % have witnessed CPR, but only 40 % have participated in resuscitation. All respondents replied that they do not have the necessary equipment to act in case of a CPR. For the most part, 66.66 % reflected a high degree of knowledge compared to knowing how to act in CPR cases, declaring confidence in acting. Conclusions: the human talent of the operating unit meets high levels of knowledge regarding basic and advanced life support.

Introducción y objetivo: La parada cardiorrespiratoria extrahospitalaria (PCREH) es una de las principales causas de muerte en los países desarrollados y un problema importante de salud pública. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática ha sido determinar si la reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) mecánica es más eficaz que la RCP manual en adultos en PCREH durante su traslado en ambulancia. Metodología: Revisión sistemática en base a las disposiciones PRISMA. Se elaboró un protocolo de búsqueda que se empleó en tres bases de datos (Medline, ScienceDirect y Web of Science). Se incluyeron ensayos clínicos y estudios observacionales publicados entre enero del 2008 y diciembre del 2020. Resultados: Se seleccionaron un total de 9 estudios, 5 llevados a cabo en pacientes, 3 realizados en maniquíes y 1 realizado en animales. La RCP mecánica no aumenta la supervivencia en adultos a los 30 días y disminuye la situación neurológica favorable al año. En cambio, esta última aumenta a los 6 meses, presenta mejor calidad de compresión, es independiente de los movimientos del vehículo y aporta mayor seguridad durante el traslado. Conclusiones: No existe evidencia suficiente para apoyar el uso rutinario de los dispositivos mecánicos puesto que no mejoran la supervivencia de los adultos en PCREH en comparación con la RCP manual durante su traslado en ambulancia. Por último, se destaca la necesidad de investigación acerca de esta cuestión sanitaria.

Objective: To validate the efficacy of brief CPR training with dual feedback to maintain the ability to perform quality chest compressions., Materials and Methods: Quasi-experimental study with two groups to evaluate a brief theoretical training followed by a practice with manikin with feedback; Participants: 155 health and non-health professionals from 5 primary care health centers of urban area (43 losses); Main measurements: Characteristics of compressions that were measured before and after the brief training and their maintenance at 3 and 6 months according to the study group. The effect of training and maintenance of skills were analyzed using multiple linear regression models., Results: 155 participants were included, mean age 39.7 years (SD=12.0) with 82.7% female. The training effect had an improvement in mean compression depth (pre-post difference: 3.5, P<.001), total compressions with adequate depth (pre-post difference: 0.2, P<.001) and Total Compressions with Adequate Rhythm (pre-post difference: 0.4, P<.001). The second phase was completed by 112 participants (72.2%). Compression skills declined at 3 months and were lower at 6 months, although the loss of skills was not statistically significant between the two groups., Conclusions: An individualized, brief training action with feedback immediately improves the quality of compressions. The progressive loss of skills from 3 to 6 months is not relevant., (Copyright © 2024 Sociedad Española de Médicos de Atención Primaria (SEMERGEN). Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.

Objective: To analyze if the implementation of a multidisciplinary extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) program in a tertiary hospital in Spain is feasible and could yield survival outcomes similar to international published experiences., Design: Retrospective observational cohort study., Setting: One tertiary referral university hospital in Spain., Patients: All adult patients receiving ECPR between January 2019 and April 2023., Interventions: Prospective collection of variables and follow-up for up to 180 days., Main Variables of Interest: To assess outcomes, survival with good neurological outcome defined as a Cerebral Performance Categories scale 1-2 at 180 days was used. Secondary variables were collected including demographics and comorbidities, cardiac arrest and cannulation characteristics, ROSC, ECMO-related complications, survival to ECMO decannulation, survival at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge, survival at 180 days, neurological outcome, cause of death and eligibility for organ donation., Results: Fifty-four patients received ECPR, 29 for OHCA and 25 for IHCA. Initial shockable rhythm was identified in 27 (50%) patients. The most common cause for cardiac arrest was acute coronary syndrome [29 (53.7%)] followed by pulmonary embolism [7 (13%)] and accidental hypothermia [5 (9.3%)]. Sixteen (29.6%) patients were alive at 180 days, 15 with good neurological outcome. Ten deceased patients (30.3%) became organ donors after neuroprognostication., Conclusions: The implementation of a multidisciplinary ECPR program in an experienced Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation center in Spain is feasible and can lead to good survival outcomes and valid organ donors., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier España, S.L.U. and SEMICYUC.

Purpose: To validate the content and adequacy of the «Rescube» training material that includes adapted information from the chain of survival. Material and methods: The study included three steps: (i) material development by 7 experts, following Delphi method; (ii) assessment of training material by 11 experts by means of a Likert score and calculation of content validity; and (iii) pilot study in two groups of 5–8 years-old: Rescube group (GR; n = 60) and Traditional group (GT; n = 60). GR was trained with Rescube and a Teddy bear, while GT was traditionally trained with a pediatric manikin. Participants were individually assessed at baseline, and one week and one month after training. Results: All content validity indexes calculated are above the recommended cut-off for analysis with more than 9 experts (≥0,80). Children’s learning results were positive, with percentages equal or higher than 80% in all registered variables at the first (one week) evaluation and equal or higher than 67% when evaluated one month after training. No significant differences were detected between groups. Conclusion: The Rescube training tool based on infantile pictures is valid and useful to train young schoolchildren in the chain of survival. Resumen: Objetivo: Validar el contenido y la adecuación del material desplegable «Rescube» con la información adaptada de la «cadena de supervivencia». Material y métodos: La investigación fue realizada en tres etapas: 1) Desarrollo del material desplegable por 7 profesionales, utilizando los pasos de un método Delphi; 2) Evaluación del material desplegable por 11 expertos mediante una escala Likert y posterior cálculo de índices de validez de contenido, y 3) estudio piloto en dos grupos de niños entre 5 y 8 años: grupo Rescube (GR; n = 60) y grupo Tradicional (GT; n = 60). El GR recibió la formación con el Rescube y un peluche mientras que en el GT se utilizó un maniquí pediátrico. Los participantes fueron evaluados individualmente antes de la formación, y una semana y un mes después. Resultados: Todos los índices calculados de validez de contenido superan el punto de corte aconsejado para los análisis con más de 9 expertos (≥0,80). Los resultados de aprendizaje de los niños fueron positivos, observándose porcentajes iguales o superiores al 80% en todas las variables registradas tras una semana e iguales o superiores al 67% tras un mes. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre los grupos. Conclusión: La herramienta docente basada en imágenes infantiles en un cubo desplegable Rescube es válida y útil para formar a los escolares más jóvenes en la «cadena de supervivencia».
