Objective: To study the prevention and management of cardiac accidents during physical education and sports (PES) classes in public middle and high schools in the Dakar region. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to 83 PES teachers in public middle and high schools in Dakar, covering student admission to PES classes, teacher first aid skills, and the existence of infirmaries equipped with defibrillators and competent healthcare personnel. Results: Prevention of cardiac accidents is deemed inadequate, as most teachers do not require a medical examination before admitting students to PES classes. This indicates a negligence of student health. While most teachers have been trained in first aid, a concerning minority remain untrained. There is a strong consensus among teachers to stop physical activity when students show signs of distress (pain, palpitations, dizziness, etc.) during PES classes, highlighting a shared priority for student safety. However, some teachers are still unable to administer first aid in the event of a cardiac accident. Additionally, only seven institutions have a defibrillator, and 36 institutions do not have an infirmary. Conclusion: The lack of a mandatory medical examination for admission to PES classes, the absence of infirmaries equipped with defibrillators in most public middle and high schools, and the hiring of teachers not trained in first aid indicate that Senegalese public schools are far from effectively preventing cardiac accidents and sudden deaths, an issue persisting for the past five years.
Author Keywords: PES, sudden death, cardiac accidents, prevention, management.

Abstract: (french)
Objectif: Étudier la prévention et la gestion des accidents cardiaques pendant les cours d’éducation physique et sportive (EPS) dans les collèges et lycées publics de Dakar. Méthodes: Un questionnaire a été administré à 83 enseignants d’EPS dans des collèges et lycées publics de Dakar, couvrant l’admission des élèves en EPS, les compétences des enseignants en premiers secours, et l’existence d’infirmeries équipées de défibrillateurs et de personnel de santé compétent. Résultats: La prévention des accidents cardiaques est jugée insuffisante, car la majorité des enseignants n’exige pas de visite médicale avant l’admission en EPS. Une négligence de la santé des élèves est observée. La plupart des enseignants ont été formés aux premiers secours, mais une minorité non formée suscite des préoccupations. Un fort consensus existe parmi les enseignants pour arrêter l’activité physique lors de signes de détresse (douleurs, palpitations, vertiges, etc.) chez les élèves en cours d’EPS, soulignant une priorité pour la sécurité des élèves. Cependant, certains enseignants ne peuvent toujours pas administrer les gestes de premiers secours en cas d’accident cardiaque. De plus, seulement sept établissements disposent d’un défibrillateur, et 36 établissements n’ont pas d’infirmerie. Conclusion: L’absence de visite médicale obligatoire pour l’admission en EPS, le manque d’infirmeries équipées de défibrillateurs dans la plupart des collèges et lycées publics, et le recrutement d’enseignants non formés aux premiers secours montrent que les écoles publiques sénégalaises sont encore loin de prévenir efficacement les accidents cardiaques et les morts subites, un problème persistant depuis cinq ans.
