- “JANET’S LAW”
The Law requires all public and private schools in the state of New Jersey to have an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and 5 people named trained on the AED. Also, every school needs to have an action plan in place for a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) event. For more information please click: Here or contact us.
Contrary to belief, Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is NOT a massive heart attack. It is not a hopeless situation. With proper and immediate emergency procedures more than 38% of the victims of SCA nationwide could survive as opposed to the current 11%. Follow the chain of survival and spread awareness by telling your friends and family that there is still HOPE for those who fall victim to SCA.
– Normal breathing stops
– No signs of life
1. Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of the emergency response system
2. Early CPR with an emphasis on chest compressions
3. Rapid defibrillation
4. Effective and advanced life support
5. Integrated post-cardiac arrest care
According to the New York Times article: “CPR Survival Rates Can Differ Greatly by City,” there are roughly 350,000 outside hospital and 750,000 in hospital resuscitation attempts per year with survival rates of 5 to 10 percent and 20 percent respectively. There has been great improvement to the cardiopulmonary resuscitation since the 1960s however many of the improvements remain underused. This results in drastic differences in survival rates varying from city to city. For example, Seattle and King County the survival rates treated by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers increased by 22 percent over the last seven years. This was due to a combination of improved training for the EMS, continued measurement on the care EMS provides, and spreading awareness that cardiac arrest is a treatable condition.
Under the Good Samaritan Law you do not need to fear a lawsuit as long as you meet these 3 criteria while you attempt CPR:
1. The person is trying to help.
2. The rescuer’s actions are reasonable ( you can’t engage in gross misconduct).
3. The rescuer does not receive specific compensation for performing CPR.
