| description | A high resuscitation rate can lead to better overall survival after cardiac arrest. In Europe, various campaigns in the field of lay resuscitation are achieving up to a threefold increase in survival. As part of the new Systems Saving Lives (SSL) chapter, the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines recommend cardiac awareness campaigns to engage the broader community. It has been noted that countries with high survival rates after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) start education in resuscitation techniques at school age. The ERC 2021 guidelines recommend that all schoolchildren should routinely receive CPR training each year. Since 2015, the KIDS SAVE LIVES statement recommended for two hours of instruction per year in all schools worldwide by age of 12. Cardiac awareness campaigns like World Restart a Heart Day (WRAH) are aimed to raise awareness about resuscitation and to train as many people as possible. |
