Bystander interventions in paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Description 
Bystander interventions of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation are critical to cardiac arrest survival. In paediatric cardiac arrest, there is very little evidence to support the best methods to perform these interventions and barriers faced by bystanders in providing them. This project aims to fill these gaps, and may include extracting data from emergency calls and using registry data.
