BackgroundSudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death in the United States and Canada. It is estimated that each year emergency medical services (EMS) personnel assess 294 851 (quasi-confidence intervals, 236 063 to 325 007) out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) in the United States. Survival, which is defined as being discharged alive from the hospital, varies widely by region (3.0% to 16.3%; median, 8.4%), but the overall average rate of survival to discharge from the hospital is estimated to be 7.6% to 7.9%. 3, 4 Provision of bystander CPR is known to be a critical determinant of survival from OHCA. 4– 13 The SOS Kanto investigators 13 documented an odds ratio of 2.4 (95% confidence interval, 1.6 to 3.4) for a favorable 30-day neurological outcome associated with victims who received any form of bystander CPR with or without ventilation. A meta-analysis by Sasson et al 4 shows that the relative impact of bystander CPR can be even higher, depending on the baseline survival (that of victims not receiving CPR) in a community: an odds ratio of 1.23 (95% confidence interval, 0.71 to 2.11) in the studies with the highest baseline survival rates to 5.01 (95% confidence interval, 2.57 to 9.78) in the studies with the lowest baseline rates. The same meta-analysis also expressed the impact of bystander CPR in terms of the number of victims needed to treated with bystander CPR to save one life and it too varied with baseline survival rates: needed to treated was 24 in areas with high baseline survival rates and 36 with the lowest baseline survival. Even though the potential benefit of this relatively simple intervention is clear, in many areas of the United States and Canada, fewer than 1 in 3 victims of OHCA receive this lifesaving help from a bystander. 3, 14
