Up to 206 Million People Reached and Over 5.4 Million Trained in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Worldwide: The 2019 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation World Restart a Heart Initiative

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Sudden out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Many of these lives could be saved if bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation rates were better.

Hypothermia and postconditioning after cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduce cardiac dysfunction by modulating inflammation, apoptosis and remodeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Mild therapeutic hypothermia following cardiac arrest is neuroprotective, but its effect on myocardial dysfunction that is a critical issue following resuscitation is not clear.

Relationship Between Emergency Medical Services Response Time and Bystander Intervention in Patients With Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe response time of emergency medical services (EMS) is an important determinant of survival after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest. We sought to identify upper limits of EMS response times and bystander interventions associated with ...

Knowledge and attitude of young population toward CPR training, results from largest training session in an official attempt to enter Guinness Book of Records: A cross-sectional study from Saudi Arabia

open access: yesJournal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022
Objective: It has been proved that bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) saves lives and it is important to rise the willingness of the general population to help cardiac arrest victims. The primary objective of the present study is to assess the

Exercise‐Related Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest Among the General Population in the Era of Public‐Access Defibrillation: A Population‐Based Observation in Japan

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundExercise can trigger sudden cardiac arrest. Early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator use by laypersons could maximize the survival rate following exercise‐related out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest ...

Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Is ventilation necessary? [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 1993
BACKGROUND Prompt initiation of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves survival. Basic life support with mouth-to-mouth ventilation and chest compressions is intimidating, difficult to remember, and difficult to perform.

Association of Bystander and First‐Responder Efforts and Outcomes According to Sex: Results From the North Carolina HeartRescue Statewide Quality Improvement Initiative

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background The Institute of Medicine has called for actions to understand and target sex‐related differences in care and outcomes for out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest patients. We assessed changes in bystander and first‐responder interventions and outcomes

Implementation of a National 5‐Year Plan for Prehospital Emergency Care in Singapore and Impact on Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest Outcomes From 2011 to 2016

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Outcomes of patients from out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary widely globally because of differences in prehospital systems of emergency care. National efforts had gone into improving OHCA outcomes in Singapore in recent years including

Prehospital randomised assessment of a mechanical compression device in cardiac arrest (PaRAMeDIC) trial protocol [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is closely linked to the quality of CPR, but in real life, resuscitation during pre-hospital care and ambulance transport is often suboptimal.
