Sumario:To promote the population's motivation to acquire knowledge in basic life support, dynamic and attractive teaching tools are necessary. A quasi-experimental study was conducted comparing pre- and post-breakout training results versus instructor-led in-person classroom training. And the participants who received training based on digital breakout showed a significant increase in self-confidence in the management of cardiac arrest and the use of the semi-automatic external defibrillator and an increase in the same post-training, with a large effect size (Cohen's d = > .80). Additionally, participants who received digital training showed comparable knowledge and skills to those who received classroom training. Digital disruption is an effective educational resource for basic life support training with a lower economic, temporal and organizational cost than traditional instructor-led in-person training. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
