... The experience of other national OHCA survival programs has demonstrated that increasing bystander CPR can improve overall survival (10), and training more individuals is an effective approach to boost bystander CPR (11). However, China's general training rate of 5.74 to 25.6% (12)(13)(14) is significantly lower than that of the US (41.9%), France (40%) and Scotland (52%) (3,15,16). ...

N represents the sample size; μ α/2 refers to the statistic of 1.96 for a two-sided test with a confidence interval of 95%, δ represents the permissible error, and P represents CPR training rate of Chinese public. Based on a general training rate of 5.74 to 25.6% (12)(13)(14), an permissible error (δ) of 0.03, α = 0.05, 1 − β = 0.9, and an expected 20% nonresponse rate, we estimated the sample size to be between 278 and 976 participants. ...
... The better the individual's health status, the higher their scores on CPR KAP and self-efficacy, as performing CPR can be physically demanding, and individuals in poor health may have difficulties performing this task and feel less willing to learn. The higher the education level, the higher the CPR KAP and self-efficacy score, which is a similar correlation found in other studies (13,32). This may be because people with higher education are better at learning, can master CPR knowledge faster, and have more positive attitudes and better self-efficacy, ultimately leading to better practices. ...
Objective
To evaluate the current status of Chinese public’s knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) and self-efficacy regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and to analyze the factors that influence KAP and self-efficacy.
Methods
An online cross-sectional survey was conducted from February to June 2022 in Mainland China via a self-designed self-filled questionnaire. Potential participants were recruited through WeChat by convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods. Descriptive and quantitative analyses were used for statistical analysis.
Results
The survey included 4,450 participants from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities across Mainland China, aged 18 or above. The public’s average understanding (clear and very clear) of the knowledge regarding CPR was 67.4% (3,000/4,450), with an average proportion of positive attitudes at 96.8% (4,308/4,450). In practice, the average proportion of good practices was 92.8% (4,130/4,450), while the percentage of good self-efficacy averaged at 58.9% (2,621/4,450), only 42.4% (1,885/4,450) of the participants had confidence in the correct use of automated external defibrillator (AED). Pearson correlation analysis showed a significantly positive correlation among knowledge, attitude, practice, and self-efficacy (p < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that several factors have a significant influence on the public’s CPR KAP and self-efficacy, including ever having received CPR training (p < 0.001), hearing about AED (p < 0.001), performing CPR on others (p < 0.001), hearing about CPR (p < 0.001), occupation (p < 0.001), personal health status (p < 0.001), education level (p < 0.001), gender (p < 0.001), and encountering someone in need of CPR (p = 0.021).
Conclusion
The Chinese public demonstrates good knowledge of CPR, positive attitude, and high willingness to perform CPR. However, there is still room for improvement in the mastery of some professional knowledge points related to CPR and AED. It should be noted that knowledge, attitude, practice, and self-efficacy are interrelated and influence each other. Factors such as prior CPR training, hearing about AED, having performed CPR before, hearing about CPR, occupation, personal health status, education level, gender, and having encountered someone in need of CPR have a significant impact on the public’s KAP and self-efficacy.
... Globally, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a serious issue for public health, mostly affecting patients with heart disease. Heart diseases remain the chief cause of cardiac arrest in comparison with non-cardiac causes [4]. In Saudi Arabia, 74% of SCAs occurred at home, with a minority of bystander CPR performed and family members present before emergency medical services (EMS) arrived [5]. ...
... Specifically, individuals who had relatives with heart disease demonstrated higher knowledge of CPR compared to those without such relatives. This finding contrasts with our study, which implies a poor knowledge of CPR among both groups regardless of the presence of relatives with heart disease [4]. ...
Background
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving procedure that can be performed in many situations where a person's breathing or heartbeat has stopped, such as during a heart attack, suffocation, near drowning, or electrical injuries.
Despite its importance, to our knowledge, no research has been conducted yet in our community on the differences in CPR knowledge, attitudes, and willingness between those with and without heart disease relatives.
Objective
This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and willingness of people with and without heart disease relatives to perform CPR in a case of cardiac arrest.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between July 2023 and October 2023 among the Saudi Arabia population using a self-administered online questionnaire focusing on the sociodemographic characteristics of participants and the level of knowledge, attitude toward CPR, and the willingness to perform CPR in a case of cardiac arrest.
Results
This study included 799 participants, with 331 males (41.4%) and 468 females (58.6%). Age distribution was mainly in the range of 18-25 years (241 participants, 30.2%). Geographically, the highest proportion was from the southern region (214 participants, 26.8%). The majority had a university degree (533 participants, 66.7%). Employment status varied, with 401 participants (50.2%) working outside the medical field. Monthly income showed that 297 (37.2%) had an income ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 SAR.
The average daily sleep duration varied, with the majority (64.7%) reporting six to nine hours of sleep. Also, 44.2% of participants reported exercising. Regarding smoking status, 80.9% reported not smoking. A family history of heart disease was reported by 46.4% of participants, whereas 16.3% reported a personal diagnosis of heart disease.
Regarding knowledge, 40.8% correctly identified when CPR should be performed. Only 40.4% correctly identified the first step in a CPR situation, and only 22.9% identified the correct sequence of steps for performing CPR. Additionally, only 66.5% correctly identified the emergency hotline number "Red Crescent." Furthermore, only 8.9% knew the correct compression/ventilation ratio for adults during CPR.
As for the attitude, a significant percentage (65.0%) had not taken a CPR course. However, the majority (84.6%) expressed a strong desire to learn CPR. Interestingly, the participants showed a positive attitude toward CPR education.
Among the participants, 53.9% responded that they performed CPR when encountering a situation that required it, while 46.1% did not. Regarding the participants' willingness to perform CPR on different individuals, the majority (74.1%) expressed their readiness to perform CPR whenever needed.
Conclusion
The findings demonstrated knowledge gaps, with misconceptions about CPR. However, participants generally expressed a positive attitude toward CPR education and a willingness to learn. Factors such as age showed a weak association with knowledge level, while gender, region, education, employment, and family history of heart disease did not significantly impact knowledge. The study highlighted the need for improved CPR education and awareness. Hence, we recommend CPR courses to be implemented as a graduation prerequisite. In addition to that, linking some government services to a first aid course would positively impact the general population's practices in CPR and other emergencies.
... In the mapping performed, one study focuses on caregiver training regarding basic life support, meeting the findings of Teng and colleagues [48], who state that this training is essential in the general population, especially for caregivers of patients with heart disease. Families/caregivers of patients with heart disease are priority targets for basic life support training [49]. ...
Unlabelled:
Map the interventions/components directed to the caregivers of heart disease patients in cardiac rehabilitation programs that promote their role and health.
Methods:
The Joanna Briggs Institute method was used to guide this scoping review. Two independent reviewers assessed articles for relevance and extracted and synthesized data. Inclusion criteria comprised articles published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese since 1950. The following databases were searched: CINAHL Complete (Via EBSCO), Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, PEDro, and Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP).
Results:
From 351 articles retrieved, 10 were included in the review. The interventions identified directed to the caregiver were: educational interventions and lifestyle changes; physical exercise; psychological interventions/stress management; and a category "Other" with training interventions in basic life support, elaboration of guidelines/recommendations, and training for the role of caregiver.
Conclusions:
It was found that most of the related cardiac rehabilitation interventions are aimed at the dyad heart failure patient and their caregivers/family. Including specific interventions targeting caregivers improves the caregiver's health and empowers them. Patient care planning should include interventions specifically aimed at them that result in health gains for caregivers and patients, striving to improve the quality of care. This study was not registered.
... Additionally, students' CPR knowledge was assessed, who indicated that 27% of participants had received BLS training. The study also reported similar results where CPR knowledge was associated with prior CPR training, despite their low overall level of knowledge (Mao et al., 2021;Oteir et al., 2019;Scapigliati et al., 2021;Teng et al., 2020). Other international studies also reported that trained individuals were more willing and confident in performing bystander CPR. ...
The Banjar Regency area is prone to flooding and is one of the disaster areas that can cause casualties and stress that triggers an increase in cardiovascular disease sufferers. This condition requires community preparedness for emergencies. The purpose of this community service activity is to train partners skills in cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills to be able to help victims of cardiac or respiratory arrest. The first implementation of this community service activity is carrying out an initial test to recognize emergency signs in heart and lung attacks, then providing an introduction to the concept of heart and lung emergency through lecture methods, discussion, and sharing related to real events of cardiopulmonary arrest in the community, then the final stage is evaluation of student abilities. The target of this community service activity was 40 students who are members of the High School Youth Red Cross in Martapura City, Banjar Regency. The results of this community service activity students understand material related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and providing basic life support counseling has a significant effect on student knowledge. Through this activity, students are expected to be able to provide a pre-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation simulation, and students can disseminate information to those closest to them.
... Effective chest compressions will be at least 2 to 2.4 inches deep for adults, The chest compression depth for Infants and children up to puberty is 1/3 the depth of the chest, which is about 1.5 inches (4 cm) in infants and 2 inches (5 cm) in children up to puberty, Infants under one year of age (excluding newborns): two ngers in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line [26,27] , (Figure 3). ...
Background: Cardiac arrest is the most common cause of death worldwide, and early intervention with
high quality BLS improves a victim’s chances of survival. A patient in cardiac arrest is treated by early
CPR and early defibrillation and administration of Emergency Drugs. Therefore, Every Health Care
Professional student should be Knowledgeable about cardiac arrest and its management to save the
precious life of patient.
Objective: To assess the Knowledge of Cardiac Arrest and its management among Health Care
Professional Students and to educate and create awareness and Knowledge about Cardiac arrest and its
management among Heath Care Professional Students

The Completed data was collected, entered in excel sheet and the results was analyzed with the proper
statistical method.
Results: According to the statistical analysis of data received, it results, only 4% (21 participants) of
health care professional students have good knowledge about cardiac arrest and its management, only
36% (188 participants) of health care professional students have adequate knowledge about cardiac
arrest and its management and 60% (316 participants) of health care professional students have
inadequate knowledge about cardiac arrest and its management.
... A semi-structured questionnaire was used for collecting data. This data collection tool was developed by Dr. Jingjing Huang and his team [14]. Data collected included sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge and awareness about BLS as related to specific objectives. ...
... Only 19.8% of the individuals in this study reported receiving CPR-related training. This is similar to the findings of other previous studies in different regions worldwide including China where studies have reported that only 3-25% of the individuals reported having CPR training [14][15][16][17]. Moreover, in another study from Hong Kong, the rate of participation in CPR training was 21% [18]. ...
... Moreover, the difference in the rate of CPR training in this study versus other studies may be attributed to differences in the promotion of the practice among the general public. In our study, 60.5% of the participants had never even heard of CPR training courses versus 33% in a Chinese study [14] and 9.9% in an Australian study [23]. ...
Background and objective
Basic Life Support (BLS) is critical because it keeps patients with life-threatening illnesses or injuries alive and maintains viability until a team of paramedics or hospital staff can provide expert care. There are many events that can result in serious injury and cause a person to stop breathing. BLS awareness among the population who have relatives with heart diseases greatly increases their confidence to act quickly when necessary and reduces their level of hesitation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the level of clinical competence in the population who have relatives with heart diseases for them to recognize and respond to individuals in need of BLS in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia.
Methodology
We conducted a quantitative, observational, and analytical cross-sectional study to achieve our objective. The targeted population involved only Saudis. The study was conducted electronically using social network apps in the Al-Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire evaluated if the subject had a family member with heart disease. Data collected included sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge and awareness about BLS as related to specific objectives.
Results
Of the 414 participants, 58.8% were females; 33.3% were between the ages of 40-49 years, and 30.7% were between 18-29 years old. The prevalence of participants who reported participating in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training was 19.8%. The main reasons for not participating in these training were a lack of knowledge about the courses (60.5%), being too busy (16.2%), and thinking that they did not need them (12.3%). Being younger than 29 years in age was one of the factors associated with participating in CPR training [odds ratio (OR): 11.85, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.54-91.42, p=0.017] versus those aged over 59 years. Gender was significantly associated with the rate of participation in CPR training: females had significantly lower rates of participation than males (15.2% vs. 25.7%, OR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.32-0.84, p=0.008). Of note, 25.5% of the participants had adequate knowledge regarding CPR. Having trained in CPR was significantly associated with a higher level of knowledge among the participants (1.82-fold) (OR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.08-3.06, p=0.023).
Conclusion
Based on our findings, there is limited awareness and training related to CPR among people with relatives suffering from cardiac diseases in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. This may be associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality related to heart diseases in the region.
... According to 2021 CPR Guidelines, line of Survival sequence will be Compression -Airway -Breathing (CAB) [3] , (Figure 2). [33] Effective chest compressions will be at least 2 to 2.4 inches deep for adults, The chest compression depth for Infants and children up to puberty is 1/3 the depth of the chest, which is about 1.5 inches (4 cm) in infants and 2 inches (5 cm) in children up to puberty, Infants under one year of age (excluding newborns): two fingers in the center of the chest, just below the nipple line [26,27] , (Figure 3). ...

... We found that although this trial did not show a significant difference in survival and showed poor neurologic outcome at 6 months regardless of whether patients received TTM [RR = 1.04; 95% CI (0.94-1.14); p = 0.37 and RR = 1.00; 95% CI (0.92-1.09), respectively], the survival rate was surprisingly high in both groups [hypothermia group: 460/925 (50%); normothermia group: 479/925 (56%)] (10). in China, the survival rate of OHCA patients was ∼1% in 2018 (37). Moreover, the survival rate at discharge of OHCA with ROSC was <20% in China, and these data come from the standard cardiac arrest center (38). We did not question the methodology of this RCT, and we hypothesized that, in addition to TTM, there were other factors influencing the results. ...
Background: Both the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Resuscitation Council (ERC) have strongly recommended targeted temperature management (TTM) for patients who remain in coma after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). However, the role of TTM, especially hypothermia, in cardiac arrest patients after TTM2 trials has become much uncertain.
Methods: We searched four online databases (PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and Web of Science) and conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis. Based on the time of collapse to ROSC and whether the patient received TTM or not, we divided this analysis into eight groups (<20 min + TTM, <20 min, 20–39 min + TTM, 20–39 min, 40–59 min + TTM, 40–59 min, ≥60 min + TTM and ≥60 min) to compare their 30-day and at-discharge survival and neurologic outcomes.
Results: From an initial search of 3,023 articles, a total of 9,005 patients from 42 trials were eligible and were included in this network meta-analysis. Compared with other groups, patients in the <20 min + TTM group were more likely to have better survival and good neurologic outcomes (probability = 46.1 and 52.5%, respectively). In comparing the same time groups with and without TTM, only the survival and neurologic outcome of the 20–39 min + TTM group was significantly better than that of the 20–39 min group [odds ratio = 1.41, 95% confidence interval (1.04–1.91); OR = 1.46, 95% CI (1.07–2.00) respectively]. Applying TTM with <20 min or more than 40 min of collapse to ROSC did not improve survival or neurologic outcome [ <20 min vs. <20 min + TTM: OR = 1.02, 95% CI (0.61–1.71)/OR = 1.03, 95% CI (0.61–1.75); 40–59 min vs. 40–59 min + TTM: OR = 1.50, 95% CI (0.97–2.32)/OR = 1.40, 95% CI (0.81–2.44); ≧60 min vs. ≧60 min + TTM: OR = 2.09, 95% CI (0.70–6.24)/OR = 4.14, 95% CI (0.91–18.74), respectively]. Both survival and good neurologic outcome were closely related to the time from collapse to ROSC.
Conclusion: Survival and good neurologic outcome are closely associated with the time of collapse to ROSC. These findings supported that 20–40 min of collapse to ROSC should be a more suitable indication for TTM for cardiac arrest patients. Moreover, the future trials should pay more attention to these patients who suffer from moderate injury.
