The powerful video, produced by the American Heart Association, the leading voluntary health organization devoted to a world of longer, healthier lives, in conjunction with Anthem Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Anthem, Inc., looks to encourage millennial women to learn Hands-Only CPR because they may serve as a first responder if they witness an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGXK9O5801Y

06.01.2022 Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry St John (NZ) Report 2017/18 Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a significant public health issue, and the n...umbers to survive a cardiac arrest are typically low. However, when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation are provided quickly, the chance of an arrest patient being resuscitated and having a good neurological recovery greatly increases. To improve patient outcomes, Ambulance services across Australasia have placed an increasing focus on sharing best practice and benchmarking results to see what can be done to improve OHCA survival. St John (NZ) is a member of the Global Resuscitation Alliance and has adopted the 10 steps to improve survival following cardiac arrest. The first of the 10 steps is to establish a cardiac arrest registry. St John’s fifth annual OHCA report for 2017-2018 sees the survival rate for patients well-placed when compared to similar emergency ambulance services internationally. The data and OHCA findings from the Registry will inform discussion on clinical improvements to look at ways to improve survival rates including how to address the equity and access issues highlighted by the report data. People in the least deprived areas have a higher survival rate than those in the most deprived areas. Using a measure* that correlates New Zealand’s cardiac arrest rates with deprivation and ethnicity, this year’s OHCA reports that people from the poorest communities are over-represented. Mori have both the highest rates of cardiac arrest and the lowest survival rates. Pacific Peoples’ also have higher cardiac arrest rates and lower survival than Europeans. The biggest inroad we can make to NZ’s cardiac arrest survival rate is to dramatically increase the public’s use of AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) along with CPR, says St John Medical Director Dr Tony Smith. Over the last five years, bystander use of AEDs has grown from 3.9% in 2013 to 5.1%. The GoodSAM (Good Smartphone Activated Medics) app was officially launched in New Zealand in April 2018. The app allows medically trained people to be alerted to a suspected OHCA nearby. https://bit.ly/2R2mRO5 The goal is to get a qualified person to a suspected OHCA as soon as possible. The strong evidence is that the sooner CPR is started and an AED used (if available), the better the chances of survival for the patient The GoodSAM app is supported by St John Ambulance, Wellington Free Ambulance, the National Cardiac Network, and Fire and Emergency New Zealand. It will be interesting to see what impact GoodSAM has on reported survival rates for 2018-2019. The St John OHCA Registry Report provides an excellent outline of current practice and outcomes and is well worth reading.
