Happy International Women’s Day.
This year is all about .
We thought it would be the perfect day to share some important but shocking facts about Women’s CPR statistics.
Did you know, Women are much less likely to receive CPR in a public setting than men due to fear from bystanders.
There are studies from across the world which support this evidence and in some reports the statistics are up to 28%.
Due to this, the survival rate is much less lower in women than men when it comes to cardiac arrest.
During our courses we discuss things like AED placement for women and the importance of removing bras.
We provide these statements above and try to inspire confidence in helping someone in an emergency, regardless of gender.
Let’s hope that we can reduce the stigma and make a difference.
