Report of this study was published in the journal The Lancet Neurology. It says that if necessary, children under five years old are able to learn some basic rules and first aid.
Scientists in the study taught children from kindergarten to Norway to help people in trouble, according to the "rule of five fingers." Children invited to see the man talking to him, touch him, trying to wake up, call an ambulance and, finally, to create his comfortable surroundings. The results were surprising even to the researchers. "After two months the children were able to determine a person sleeps or is unconscious, and he breathes. In addition, the children remembered the number of "first aid" and could be described with an accuracy of your location "- Georg Bollig comments from the Department of Surgery, University Hospital Houklend.
