Thus, the study aimed to analyze the evidence available in the literature regarding educational technologies aimed at teaching adolescents with an emphasis on first aid. To this end, we chose to perform an integrative review, which analyzed primary research articles indexed in the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, Nursing Database, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, without date restriction. The search was conducted in December 2022; The data were submitted to critical analysis and qualitative synthesis and presented in a descriptive way. 4 studies were selected and 4 educational technologies were found, aimed at teaching first aid.  The approach to the theme with adolescents was present in all studies and the success of the strategies for the teaching of first aid was proven. The study made it possible to identify educational technologies for the teaching of first aid, aimed at the adolescent public and evidenced the effectiveness of these tools in health promotion.
