Becausechest compression–only CPR (CCCPR) is easier to learn and per<strong>for</strong>m than conventional CPR, CCCPR would lead to anincrease in <strong>the</strong> number of individuals trained and increase CPR and AED use by bystanders. Recently, <strong>the</strong> effectivenessof CCCPR has become well accepted, but conventional CPR with rescue breathing is still <strong>the</strong> standard of CPR. However,some animal and clinical reports have suggested that <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of each type of bystander CPR is time dependentand that CCCPR may be more effective than conventional CPR in <strong>the</strong> early phase of sudden cardiac arrest. Among thosewith public-access defibrillation in whom defibrillation would be delivered fast and CPR would be needed only in <strong>the</strong> earlyphase after collapse, CCCPR can be more beneficial than conventional CPR. Based on this hypo<strong>the</strong>sis, our studydemonstrated that CCCPR is more effective than conventional CPR <strong>for</strong> individuals with witnessed OHCA who are shockedwith public-access AEDs through a large, prospective, population-based registry covering all of Japan where <strong>the</strong>public-access defibrillation program is successfully developed. We believe that CCCPR could be a standard by which layrescuers are likely to witness sudden collapse and use public-access AEDs. Because penetration and more frequent use ofpublic-access defibrillation remain a challenge <strong>for</strong> many areas, strategies and ef<strong>for</strong>ts to increase <strong>the</strong> number ofpublic-access AEDs and lay rescuers who can per<strong>for</strong>m chest compressions and use an AED are needed.Go to http://cme.ahajournals.org to take <strong>the</strong> CME quiz <strong>for</strong> this article.Downloaded from http://circ.ahajournals.org/ by guest on January 21, 2013
