I’m a woman and I want help!

By Deanna Young Leave a Comment

For the first time, someone has studied how a victim’s gender plays a role in the performance of CPR.  In a study of 20,000 cases of cardiac arrest, CPR was done on only 39% of the women who needed it by bystanders and bystanders did CPR for 45% of the men who needed it.  First of all, we should all be trained and the numbers should be closer to 100% on both.  I find it appalling that less than half of either gender were getting help.  But, really???!!!  Women are getting less help.  Wow.  I find it hard to believe that, in today’s world, with all of the knowledge and information and training that we have, people are afraid to help a woman in cardiac arrest because that means touching her chest.  Well, I’m here to say that I WANT HELP!  I guess that is why I teach CPR.  I know I’m not the only woman teaching CPR, either.

Let’s work harder to help more people.  PLEASE.
