abstract: 'Background-Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and public

  access defibrillator (PAD) use can save the lives of people who

  experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Little is known about the

  proportions of UK adults trained, their characteristics and willingness

  to act if witnessing an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, or the public''s

  knowledge regarding where the nearest PAD is located.

  Methods and Results-An online survey was administered by YouGov to a

  nonprobabilistic purposive sample of UK adults, achieving 2084

  participants, from a panel that was matched to be representative of the

  population. We used descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic

  regression modeling for analysis. Almost 52\% were women, 61\% were aged

  <55 years, and 19\% had witnessed an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

  Proportions ever trained were 57\% in chest-compression-only CPR, 59\%

  in CPR, and 19.4\% in PAD use. Most with training in any resuscitation

  technique had trained at work (54.7\%). Compared with people not

  trained, those trained in PAD use said they were more likely to use one

  (odds ratio: 2.61), and those trained in CPR or chest-compression-only

  CPR were more likely to perform it (odds ratio: 5.39). Characteristics

  associated with being trained in any resuscitation technique included

  youth, female sex, higher social grade, and full-time employment.

  Conclusions-In the United Kingdom, training makes a difference in

  people''s willingness to act in the event of a cardiac arrest. Although

  there is considerable opportunity to increase the proportion of the

  general population trained in CPR, consideration should be also given to

  encouraging training in PAD use and targeting training for those who are

  older or from lower social grades.'
