Online published on 16 October, 2018. Abstract Background/Objectives The purpose of the study was to compare the ability of layperson to does cardio-pulmonary resuscitation(CPR) and to provide a basic data for helping layperson easily apply the CPR. Methods/Statistical Analysis The subjects were randomly assigned to instruction groups. One group was instructed by pictures (group P), one by videos (group M), and one by telephone dispatchers (group D), Without employing artificial respiration, a single rescuer was asked to apply chest compression to a mannequin for practice in accordance with the instructions assigned to each group. General characteristics used technical statistics and one way ANOVA test was used for variables in the study results. Findings Regarding the proper consciousness check of the cardiac arrest patient, group P followed the instruction 0.20±0.41 times, group M, 0.47±0.51 times, and group D was not performed by all participants. There was a statistically significant difference between the three groups. The 119 reports were made the P group reports 0.53 ± 0.51 times, the M reports 0.53 ± 0.51 times, and group D was not performed by all participants. There was a statistically significant difference between the three groups. The automated external defibrillator (AED) request had the P group request 0.60±0.50 times, the M request 0.80±0.41 times, the D group request 0.13±0.35. There was a statistically significant difference between the three groups. The insufficient relaxation was 12.93 ± 17.57 times in P group, 18.93 ± 40.07 times in M group, 62.20 ± 64.74 times in D group. There was a statistically significant difference between the three groups. Improvements/Applications CPR can be produced by providing a practice-while watching(PWW) producing video to a non-trained witness first responders who encounters a out-of-hospital cardiac patient.
