ABSTRACT:

Background

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a big issue of critical care. It is well known that bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with an automated external defibrillator (AED) used did improve the survival rate.

It showed significant improvement of knowledge and willingness to perform CPR through adolescents after the course.
