AB  - Persons who witness an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)—that is, bystanders—have the capacity to institute essential, primary steps of resuscitation, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation with an automatic external defibrillator (AED). Bystander resuscitation comprises the first 3 links in the chain of survival, a series of interventions sequenced to save the lives of patients who experience an OHCA. Broadly defined, community interventions aiming to enhance bystander CPR and AED education have been associated with improved rates of bystander involvement and improved OHCA outcomes. Recognizing that OHCA survival has been an active area of investigation for more than 50 years, promoting effective OHCA bystander intervention is, therefore, an important global health initiative. Although studies of such community-level educational interventions have yielded differing effect estimates, programs with longevity portend more bystander participation and better OHCA outcomes in systematic review and meta-analyis.
