    AbstractA survey of 434 adults was conducted to determine the percentage of persons trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in Jerusalem. Of the total, 211 (48.6%) indicated they had been trained in CPR. Increased prevalence of CPR training was seen in men under 50 and women under 40 years of age. Half of those surveyed did not know the emergency number for summoning an ambulance, but CPR-trained persons were more likely to know than were nontrained individuals. As has been shown elsewhere, increasing the frequency of bystander-initiated CPR should lead to increased survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
