Summary

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an important public health issue. Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, a university affiliated medical center in Taoyuan city, northern Taiwan, actively cooperated with the government policy to donate a total of 250 automated external defibrillators (AED) and to deploy them in public areas during the period of 2012 to 2014. In addition, nearly 200 courses of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education for healthcare providers and citizens were provided.

In order to keep the skills and the abilities of emergency medical responses in these 200 and more AED recipient areas, repeated CPR education and training should be implemented. Quality assurance and regular follow-up by medical directors with professional advice and feedback can therefore be provided at the same time. Therefore, this project aims to assess the quality of emergency responses in the recipient units in the next four years via regular follow-up by medical directors with advice and feedback. Continuing medical education of both e-learning and classes, online registration system, as well as first aid supplies will be provided at the regular follow-up visits. The results of this project will provide a feasible model of quality assurance of first aid and AED implementation program in the community.
