This article reports the results of a cardiopulmonary-resuscitation training programme by way of the retention of the knowledge and skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation by 11- and 12-year-old children. The results indicate that cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be taught to some individuals at this age but that performance declines quite markedly over a period of five months after training.
