GAVOTTO-NOGALES, Omar Iván et al. Preparation of sports centers staff in case of sudden cardiac arrest. Educ. fís. cienc. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 2314-2561.

The research aims to identify the preparation of personnel working in gyms and sports centers to provide first aid in case of sudden cardiac arrest. A random sample was obtained to implement a survey to 12 sports centers in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. 58,33% of those responsible for sports centers have confirmed that their staff is CPR trained, but 100% of the staff do not know how to use a defibrillator. It was confirmed that no sports center has defibrillator to provide assistance in case of sudden cardiac arrest. In the analysis of curricula, six careers related to physical activity and sport have an elective course on first aids, which includes as basic content CPR and only two out of every 100 students related to physical activity and sport careers, confirmed having received training in CPR. It is suggested that the staff working in the sport and fitness centers receive training on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillator use. It is proposed that 100% of staff acquire the skills to perform CPR, based on international parameters and procedures.
