The high mortality rate in cardiopulmonary arrests (CPA) emphasizes emergency measures to reduce these rates, such as Basic Life Support (BLS) maneuvers. The BLS constitutes the initial out-of-hospital care provided to the victim of CPA, which represents a conduct with a great impact on the reduction of deaths when properly implemented. It is essential that there are people trained to perform these maneuvers that can occur at different times and environments, including during oral health care. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of students in the last semester of the dentistry course at two educational institutions about BLS in Adults. The research was carried out through a structured questionnaire containing ten questions about knowledge and proper conduct in cases of CPA. It was found that, for the most part, students had acceptable results, but a still significant portion is unaware of the correct maneuvers and behaviors performed in the SBV and that such portion of students responded that they did not feel prepared to handle such a situation safely.
