  Abstract Background : Cardiac arrests are the leading cause of death outside the hospital and in the hospital. Previous research has shown that as many as 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur at home. The outcome of the OHCA was poor, only 10.8% of adult victims with non-traumatic cardiac arrest who had received resuscitation efforts from the emergency medical service (EMS) were able to survive until hospital. In everyday life, it is often found that someone suddenly loses consciousness or finds a victim on the street. To deal with this, what has to be done is to provide Basic Life Support (BLS). The provision of information can be started from the school age so that they can easily practice and share information on handling BLS on lay people with their families.
