Fit-cardiopulmonary resuscitation approach in public mass cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching: A randomized control trial.

Objectives: To improve public awareness and the rate of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), a novel and exciting approach called fit-CPR that incorporates mass CPR with high-intensity physical activity into the beat of locally favoured music was proposed. This study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of fit-CPR compared to the standard classroom method (CCM).

Methods: Between 30th August to 29th November 2018, 129 participants from Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, were randomized to learn CPR, either through fit-CPR or CCM protocol.
