Introduction: Public knowledge of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and initiation of basic life support (BLS) is crucial to increase survival in OHCA. Methods: The study analysed the knowledge and willingness to perform BLS of laypersons passing an AED at a public train station. Interviewees were recruited at two time points before and after a four year-long structured regional awareness campaign, which focused on call, compress, shock in a mid-size European city (270,000 inhabitants). Complete BLS was defined as multiple responses for call for help; initiation of chest compressions; and usage of an AED, without mentioning recovery position. Minimal BLS was defined as call for help and initiation of chest compressions. Results: A total of 784 persons were interviewed, 257 at baseline and 527 post-campaign. Confronted with a fictional OHCA, at baseline 8.5% of the interviewees spontaneously mentioned actions for complete BLS and 17.9% post-campaign (p = 0.009). An even larger increase in knowledge was seen in minimal BLS (34.6% vs 60.6%, p |
