Brief Summary: Emergency medical services EMS provide emergency care not only in the urban but also in the remote areas which could be up to 40 minutes from the EMS station Thus a cardiac arrest victim in those remote areas has a low likelihood to survive the cardiopulmonary resuscitation Therefore we have organized first responders who are mostly volunteer fire-fighters in the remote areas and taught them how to perform basic life support BLS with use of an automated external defibrillator AED In the case of a cardiac arrest the medical dispatcher activates simultaneously the EMS and the first responders who perform the BLS with the use of an AED before the arrival of EMS

The aim of the study is to analyze and compare the survival of the cardiac arrest victims in remote areas in the time period when the first responders were not organized yet compared to the time period when the first responders were activated to perform BLS
