“…At the same time, it is critical to expand the diverse training pathways for individuals, families, hospitals, communities, and society. For example, in Denmark, most people aged 18 to 29 have received CPR training when obtaining their driver's licenses, [14] while the British Heart Foundation's Heart Start Day offers relevant training courses to promote the availability of CPR and defibrillator training for the general public. Therefore, it is essential to enhance professional emergency training teams in order to comprehensively enhance the public's knowledge and skills in AED and CPR.…”

To understand the current status of public knowledge of automated external defibrillator (AED) and their willingness to use public AED in Hubei Province, along with the influencing factors. A self-designed questionnaire was used for convenience sampling of the public in Hubei Province. The questionnaire consists of three parts: basic information, AED knowledge questions, and willingness to use public AED and influencing factors. Data was collected between May 2022 and March 2023. A total of 1561 valid questionnaires were collected from 1602 distributed. In the study conducted in Hubei Province, it was found that 875 respondents (56.05%) had knowledge of automated external defibrillator, and they achieved an average score of 39.27 ± 29.17. The pass rate for the survey was 28.11%. Several factors were identified as significant influencing factors, including gender, age, education level, occupation related to medicine, residential location in the past three years, family members with cardiovascular disease, marital status, residential population density, whether there are family members over 65 years old, and participation in AED-related training (P < .05).Furthermore, 692 respondents (72.99%) expressed their willingness to cardiopulmonary resuscitation for someone experiencing cardiac arrest. On the other hand, 686 respondents (43.95%) had no knowledge of AED. Among those who were not willing to perform defibrillation, the highest percentages cited “fear of incorrect use” (129, 31.2%) and “fear of harming the patient” (121, 29.3%) as their reasons. The study also found statistically significant differences in the willingness to use public AED based on participation in training, education level, residential location, family members with cardiovascular disease, population density, and the presence of elderly family members aged 65 or over (P < .05). In conclusion, the study highlights the general lack of public knowledge regarding AED in Hubei Province. However, there is a strong willingness among respondents to provide help during cardiac arrest situations. To improve the chances of survival for cardiac arrest patients, it is crucial to strengthen public AED training programs.

“… 33 In Denmark, where CPR training is mandatory in primary schools and when obtaining a driver's license, a representative sample of the population reports that 81% have received CPR training and >50% are trained to use an AED. 34 To use an AED, it is important that one is available within a relatively short distance. 35 We observed that urban areas had a higher AED density per square kilometer (>3/km 2 in 2020) compared with both suburban (<1/km 2 ) and rural areas (<1/km 2 ) but not per 100 000 inhabitants, where rural and suburban areas had the most.…”

Background Survival from out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) varies across regions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between urbanization (rural, suburban, and urban areas), bystander interventions (cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation), and 30‐day survival from OHCAs in Denmark. Methods and Results We included OHCAs not witnessed by ambulance staff in Denmark from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020. Patients were divided according to the Eurostat Degree of Urbanization Tool in rural, suburban, and urban areas based on the 98 Danish municipalities. Poisson regression was used to estimate incidence rate ratios. Logistic regression (adjusted for ambulance response time) tested differences between the groups with respect to bystander interventions and survival, according to degree of urbanization. A total of 21 385 OHCAs were included, of which 8496 (40%) occurred in rural areas, 7025 (33%) occurred in suburban areas, and 5864 (27%) occurred in urban areas. Baseline characteristics, as age, sex, location of OHCA, and comorbidities, were comparable between groups. The annual incidence rate ratio of OHCA was higher in rural areas (1.54 [95% CI, 1.48–1.58]) compared with urban areas. Odds for bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation were lower in suburban (0.86 [95% CI, 0.82–0.96]) and urban areas (0.87 [95% CI, 0.80–0.95]) compared with rural areas, whereas bystander defibrillation was higher in urban areas compared with rural areas (1.15 [95% CI, 1.01–1.31]). Finally, 30‐day survival was higher in suburban (1.13 [95% CI, 1.02–1.25]) and urban areas (1.17 [95% CI, 1.05–1.30]) compared with rural areas. Conclusions Degree of urbanization was associated with lower rates of bystander defibrillation and 30‐day survival in rural areas compared with urban areas.

“…Only half of Australians have undertaken basic life support training 11 . This statistic is particularly poor when compared with the European model, where basic life support training and defibrillator practice are compulsory in schools and later to receive a driving licence 11,12 . We advocate for a similar model in Australia, together with public messaging that bystanders do not need to be trained to use a PAD.…”
