“…Lack of skill retention even a short time after courses has been documented by others. 33,34 This underlines the need for follow up courses, and in our study, the majority of the students supported compulsory BLS training in school and would even like to have more training in addition to the basic curriculum. Thus, the motivation among the students is strong.…”

“…Studies have shown that there is a drop in skill retention when tested six months after initial training. (27,28) We do not doubt nor underrate the importance of a drop-off in knowledge and skill post training. However, based particularly on the high number of correct recall of Singapore's emergency number in both the pre-training (72.3% overall) and post-training (99.2% overall) surveys, most of our trainees should remember to call it in the event of an emergency.…”

“…Students and children as young as 10 years of age, although unlikely to encounter cardiac arrest, can be taught CPR. 24,[26][27][28][29][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86] Parents of young infants are another group that can learn CPR before leaving the nursery. [87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97] Anecdotally, CPR training is mandatory in some countries at the time of obtaining or renewing one's driver's licence.…”

Objectives: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial yet weak link in the chain of survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We sought to understand the determinants of bystander CPR and the factors associated with successful training. Methods: For this systematic review, we searched 11 electronic databases, 1 trial registry and 9 scientific websites. We performed hand searches and contacted 6 content experts. We reviewed without restriction all communications pertaining to who should learn CPR, what should be taught, when to repeat training, where to give CPR instructions and why people lack the motivation to learn and perform CPR. We used standardized forms to review papers for inclusion, quality and data extraction. We grouped publications by category and classified recommendations using a standardized classification system that was based on level of evidence. Results: We reviewed 2409 articles and selected 411 for complete evaluation. We included 252 of the 411 papers in this systematic review. Differences in their study design precluded a meta-analysis. We classified 22 recommendations; those with the highest scores were 1) 9-1-1 dispatchassisted CPR instructions, 2) teaching CPR to family members of cardiac patients, 3) Braslow's selftraining video, 4) maximizing time spent using manikins and 5) teaching the concepts of ambiguity and diffusion of responsibility. Recommendations not supported by evidence include mass training events, pulse taking prior to CPR by laymen and CPR using chest compressions alone. Conclusion:We evaluated and classified the potential impact of interventions that have been proposed to improve bystander CPR rates. Our results may help communities design interventions to improve their bystander CPR rates. RÉSUMÉ Objectifs : La réanimation cardio-respiratoire (RCR) est un maillon essentiel, quoique faible, de la chaîne de survie lors de la survenue d'un arrêt cardiaque hors de l'hôpital. Nous avons cherché à comprendre les déterminants du taux de passants pouvant administrer la RCR et les facteurs liés à une formation efficace. Méthodes : Dans le cadre de cette revue systématique, nous avons analysé 11 bases de données électroniques, un registre d'essais cliniques et neuf sites Web scientifiques. Nous avons réalisé des recherches manuelles et communiqué avec six experts du contenu. Nous avons examiné sans restriction toutes les communications portant sur les questions suivantes : qui devrait apprendre la RCR, ce qu'on devrait enseigner, QUAND la formation devrait être renouvelée, où les cours de
