Introduction
           • Survival of out-of-hospital cardiac  arrest victims in Lebanon is 4.8% - 5.5%, with only 
             45.4% presenting good neurologic outcomes (El Sayed et al., 2014, 2017)
           • Globally, survival is ~ 10%. Half of the arrests are witnessed by a bystander. ~ 70% 
             occur at home, 20% in public places and 10% in nursing homes (Eisenberg et al., 2015; El Sayed, 
             2017).

           • The chain of survival of out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) starts 
             with the witness/bystander who calls for help and starts CPR   . 
              • High quality CPR is associated with improved survival outcomes (AHA, 2018)
              • Early bystander CPR and early defibrillation are also important factors in improving patient 
                outcomes (Chan et al., 2014)
