Summary
Cardiac arrests that happen outside the hospital are the leading cause of death in the United States. When bystanders do CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), they can keep someone alive until emergency responders arrive. Strategies to increase bystanders’ willingness to do CPR are important for increasing cardiac arrest survival rates.
