To strengthen self-confidence as a step in improving prehospital youth laymen basic life support.
BMC Emerg Med
January 2020
Jönköping University, School of Health Sciences, PO Box 1026, 551 11, Jönköping, Sweden.
Background: A rapid emergency care intervention can prevent the cardiac arrest from resulting in death. In order for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to have any real significance for the survival of the patient, it requires an educational effort educating the large masses of people of whom the youth is an important part. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a two-hour education intervention for youth regarding their self-confidence in performing Adult Basic Life Support (BLS).

School of Health Sciences, Jönköping University, PO Box 1026, 551 11, Jönköping, Sweden.
Background: By educating laymen, survival after cardiac arrest can increase in society. It is difficult to reach the entire population with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. However, if 15% of the population knows how to perform CPR, an increase in short- and long-term survival in patients suffering a cardiac arrest could be seen.

March 2020
Department of Molecular and Clinical Medicine, Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Effective education in basic life support (BLS) may improve the early initiation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillation (CPR-AED).
Aim: To compare the learning outcome in terms of practical skills and knowledge of BLS after participating in learning activities related to BLS, with and without web-based education in cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
Methods: Laymen (n = 2,623) were cluster randomised to either BLS education or to web-based education in CVD before BLS training.
A smartphone application for dispatch of lay responders to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
Resuscitation
May 2018
Center for Resuscitation Science, Department of Medicine Solna, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. Electronic address:
Background: Dispatch of lay volunteers trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and equipped with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) may improve survival in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The aim of this study was to investigate the functionality and performance of a smartphone application for locating and alerting nearby trained laymen/women in cases of OHCA.
Methods: A system using a smartphone application activated by Emergency Dispatch Centres was used to locate and alert laymen/women to nearby suspected OHCAs.
Effects of the Cardio First AngelTM on chest compression performance.
Technol Health Care
September 2018
Department of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Munich, Ludwig-Maximilian-University, Munich, Germany.
Background: Survival rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remain poor. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is crucial for survival and feedback devices could improve its quality.
Objective: We investigated the quality of chest compression when using the Cardio First AngelTM (CFA) feedback device compared to standard basic life support (BLS).
