Abstract
Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is influenced by each link in the chain of survival. On the Danish island of Bornholm (population 42,000, area 588 km2) none survived an OHCA in 2001-2003. Therefore, we designed a multifaceted community-based approach aiming at strengthening each link in the chain of survival. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementation of the intervention on bystander basic life support (BLS) rates and survival to hospital discharge after OHCA.
