“…Moreover, it has been observed that increased age is associated with decreased readiness to offer help and a lower frequency of initiating CPR compared to younger bystanders, elderly laypersons were also found to perform worse dispatcher-assissted CPR than younger [ 5 , 10 , 14 , 15 ]. These findings, coupled with previously established barriers to successful CPR, such as physical limitations, places the elderly population in an unfavorable position when it comes to performing CPR [ 8 , 16 , 17 ]. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to assess the knowledge and attitude towards performing resuscitation within the elderly population in Poland.…”

Background Cardiac arrest constitutes a critical medical emergency necessitating swift intervention to reinstate normal heart rhythm and prevent harm to vital organs. The pivotal role of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in influencing survival rates is well recognized. With older adults being the most common group to witness such events, it’s curcial to understand their attitudes and knowledge about performing CPR. Additionally, understanding if health status has an influence can help in tailoring education for specific seniors needs. Methods A cross-sectional survey was sent to University of the Third Age (UTA) students. The survey comprised sections focusing on demographic data, CPR knowledge, automated external defibrillator (AED) knowledge, first aid training, and readiness to perform CPR and use AEDs. Participants’ health conditions were also assessed through multiple-choice options. Results We received 456 responses. Significant awareness of emergency numbers and cardiac arrest recognition was revealed. However, knowledge gaps persisted, particularly in compression rates. Most participants comprehended AED usage, yet training primarily relied on theoretical approaches. Health conditions notably affected CPR readiness, with associations between specific chronic diseases and willingness to perform CPR. Conclusions Addressing knowledge gaps and tailoring education for elderly needs are crucial for improving survival rates. Future research should explore barriers to bystander CPR during out-of-hospital cardiac arrests to further enhance survival prospects.

“… 6 However, even in systems with DA-CPR in place, case characteristics, (e.g., arrest witness status, 7 patient sex 8 and location of arrest 9 ) and other barriers also influence whether bystanders commence and continue CPR. [7] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] …”

“…While previous studies [7] , [12] , [13] have identified important and modifiable barriers to CPR initiation and/or continuation, they have overlooked the potential effect modification and confounding of different barriers and case characteristics. Here, we build on a previous study of emergency ambulance calls 10 where we identified eight barriers to immediate B-CPR initiation and continuation until the arrival of EMS: (1) perceived inappropriateness of B-CPR, (2) emotional distress, (3) caller reluctance, (4) bystander physical limitations, (5) patient access, (6) caller leaving the scene, (7) communication failure and (8) caller distractions.…”
