Public-access automated external defibrillation and bystander-initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation in schools: a nationwide investigation in Japan.

TL;DR: The combination of public-access AED application and bystander-CPR increased the chance of survival approximately four-fold in schools and may reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death among school children.

Theoretical knowledge and psychomotor skill acquisition of basic life support training programme among secondary school students.

TL;DR: Most Nigerian secondary school students were not knowledgeable about basic life support (BLS) and there is need for the creation of more awareness among the students.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation outcome of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in low-volume versus high-volume emergency departments: An observational study and propensity score matching analysis.

TL;DR: Emergency departments with high volumes of CPR cases showed significantly better outcomes for OHCA patients than those with low volumes in an EMS system with single-tiered basic to intermediate service level.
