Review[Bystander resuscitation: the impact of first aid onsurvival].
About 75000 people suffer from sudden cardiac arrest in Germany every year. 47% of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in Germany are bystander witnessed, but in only 16.1% is bystander-initiated CPR undertaken. In comparison to other countries, Germany is in the last third of bystander-initiated CPR activities. But bystander CPR is one of the most important measures contributing to a good neurological outcome after OHCA. New methods and concepts have to be developed to bring the knowledge of CPR to the general public in Germany and to improve the international standing.

Review[Teaching resuscitation in schools: "The earlier, the better...."].
Sudden cardiac arrest is a major contributor to avoidable deaths in Europe. Immediate start of basic life support (BLS) by laypersons is among the most successful strategies in the treatment of cardiac arrest patients. Despite the fact that more than half of all cardiac arrests in Germany are witnessed by a bystander, only in one fifth of all arrests layperson resuscitation is initiated. ⋯ Although an age-adjusted curriculum seems reasonable even usage of automatic external defibrillators (AED) can be taught effectually. The earlier in the life of a student BLS-instruction begins, the more successful the training is. However a national German curriculum for BLS-training in schools has yet to be established in Germany.
