CPR training gradually became more widely accepted, as evidenced by participation in training programs throughout the country. As early as 1977, a Gallup poll reported that 12 million Americans had taken CPR courses and another 80 million were familiar with the technique and wanted formal training [6]. The success of public training was documented by many studies [40, 41]. The issues of whom to train and how to improve skill retention continue to be explored, as evidenced by the AHA/International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR)’s Guidelines 2020 document, which contains significant changes in how the techniques of CPR and emergency cardiac care are taught to laypersons [42]. CPR guidelines based on ILCOR and AHA guidelines continue to be updated.
