Summary

Prompt delivery of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial determinant of survival for many victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), yet bystander CPR is provided in less than one third of witnessed SCA events. A number of barriers to bystander CPR training have been identified including time and cost of the training course. Since the large majority of arrest events occur in the home environment, studies have suggested that providing CPR training to family members of hospitalized cardiac patients may serve as a useful approach to address an environment in which bystander CPR is frequently not provided. Utilizing an existing in-hospital program to train adult family members, the investigators will assess the skills of those who learn CPR through two different educational methods: a mobile app and video self-instruction (VSI).

Interventions

OTHER

Education: CPR Training via Mobile App

Using a mobile app to train users on chest-compression only CPR. Subjects will be encouraged to share the app with family and friends.

OTHER

Education: CPR Training using the CPR Anytime VSI Kit

Subjects will be trained using the American Heart Association's Family and Friends CPR Anytime Kit. Subjects will undergo training in-hospital and will be encouraged to take the kit home to share with their family members and friends.
