Large Language Model (LLM)-Powered Chatbots Fail to Generate Guideline-Consistent Content on Resuscitation and May Provide Potentially Harmful Advice.

Introduction: Innovative large language model (LLM)-powered chatbots, which are extremely popular nowadays, represent potential sources of information on resuscitation for the general public. For instance, the chatbot-generated advice could be used for purposes of community resuscitation education or for just-in-time informational support of untrained lay rescuers in a real-life emergency.

Study Objective: This study focused on assessing performance of two prominent LLM-based chatbots, particularly in terms of quality of the chatbot-generated advice on how to give help to a non-breathing victim.

Large Language Model-based Chatbot as a Source of Advice on First Aid in Heart Attack.

The ability of the cutting-edge large language model-powered chatbots to generate human-like answers to user questions hypothetically could be utilized for providing real-time advice on first aid for witnesses of cardiovascular emergencies. This study aimed to evaluate quality of the chatbot responses to inquiries on help in heart attack. The study simulated interrogation of the new Bing chatbot (Microsoft Corporation, USA) with the "heart attack what to do" prompt coming from 3 countries, the Gambia, India and the USA.

An expert consensus–based checklist for quality appraisal of educational resources on adult basic life support: a Delphi study.

Objective: Given the lack of a unified tool for appraising the quality of educational resources for lay-rescuer delivery of adult basic life support (BLS), this study aimed to develop an appropriate evaluation checklist based on a consensus of international experts.

Methods: In a two-round Delphi study, participating experts completed questionnaires to rate each item of a predeveloped 72-item checklist indicating agreement that an item should be utilized to evaluate the conformance of an adult BLS educational resource with resuscitation guidelines. Consensus on item inclusion was defined as a rating of ≥7 points from ≥75% of experts.

Dr. Google's Advice on First Aid: Evaluation of the Search Engine's Question-Answering System Responses to Queries Seeking Help in Health Emergencies.

Introduction: The ever-growing penetration of internet and mobile technologies into society suggests that people will increasingly use web searches to seek health-related information, including advice on first aid in medical emergencies. When a bystander is incompetent in first aid and has no immediate support from Emergency Medical Services (EMS), as it happens in low-resource settings or in disasters, instructions found online could be the sole driver for administering first aid before arrival of professional help.

Study Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate quality of advice on first aid generated by a web search engine's question-answering system (QAS) in response to search queries concerning provision of help in common health emergencies.

Global prevalence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation training among the general public: a scoping review.

A scoping review was conducted to identify, map, and analyze international evidence from studies investigating the prevalence of community cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. We searched major bibliographic databases and grey literature for original studies evaluating the prevalence of CPR training in the general population. Studies published from January 2000 to October 2020 were included without language or publication type restrictions.

Availability of basic life support courses for the general populations in India, Nigeria and the United Kingdom: An internet-based analysis.

Background: The number of lay people willing to attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in real life is increased by effective education in basic life support (BLS). However, little is known about access of general public to BLS training across the globe. This study aimed to investigate availability and key features of BLS courses proposed for lay people in India, Nigeria and the United Kingdom (UK).
