● 20 December 2019 at Wat Pho Riang community.

From 12 simluated cases in 4 activities, we found that community first responders (CFRs) arrived at the scene before the ambulance arrived in all cases and community first responders (CFRs) took an average of 8 minutes to arrive at the scene.
Activities in phase 2 focus on building volunteer motorcycle taxi drivers to community first responders (CFRs) in Bangkok-Noi district as follows:
– Activity 1: Meeting with community first responders (CFRs) who were motorcycle-taxi drivers of 6 people on 14 January 2020.
After the meeting, Focus on public relations and organizing activities to be more concise at the motorcycle-taxi parking.

Output/Outcome
This project organized CPR training for motorcycle-taxi drivers and any layperson who were interested in CPR training 7 times. After that, we have 152 community first responders (CFRs) also 7 times to rescue out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients and 40% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients received chest compressions before the ambulance arrived. Moreover, An audit of the system by in situ simulation in the community 5 times and 82.35% passed the criteria test.
