Using Innovation to Improve Outcomes from Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Abstract
In the U.S. there are approximately 350,000 sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) events each year, with survival hovering around 10 percent. Survival is contingent on rapid response with interventions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by a lay bystander. Current strategies for CPR instruction of lay bystanders are insufficient to meet need. Using innovative technological platforms for instruction and resource allocation may contribute to improved use of CPR by lay bystanders and, subsequently, better outcomes following SCA.
