Awareness, Knowledge, and Attitudes Regarding Basic Life Support Among the General Population in the Al-Majma'ah Region, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Cardiac arrest is a critical medical emergency that can strike individuals of any age or background, often occurring suddenly and unpredictably. The administration of Basic Life Support (BLS) techniques by laypersons in the first few crucial minutes following a cardiac arrest can substantially increase the chances of survival and minimize potential neurological damage. Despite the vital role of BLS in saving lives, there remains a gap in public awareness, knowledge, and attitudes regarding BLS among the general population in many regions worldwide, including Saudi Arabia.
