CPR and Workplace Statistics
More than 15% of out of hospital cardiac arrests occur in a public location; therefore, public access AEDs and community training have a large role to play in early defibrillation. However, the number of patients who have had an AED applied by a bystander remains low, occurring after only 10.2% of the public arrests.
*Stats from American Heart Association
9 in 10 cardiac arrest victims who receive a shock from an AED in the first minute live. Bystanders administer CPR about 40% of the time and AEDs even less so your chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services during a cardiac emergency decreases by 10% every minute without CPR.
*Stats from American Heart Association
During cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival and survival rates decrease by 10% every minute that passes. The average response time for an ambulance is 7 minutes from the time of the 911 call and 14 minutes in a rural setting.
*Stats from American Heart Association
10,000 workplace cardiac arrests happen each year and 1 in 3 safety managers have reported lives have been saved with first aid, CPR, and AED training.
85% of employees believe first aid, CPR and AED training are important, but almost half of all employees report their employers do not offer first aid, CPR or AED training.
