Women are less likely to receive CPR and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in public places. Such assistance is most likely to be provided to men. This is stated in the research; presented At the European Emergency Medicine Congress (EUSEM)
The authors of the scientific study from the Montreal Heart Institute in Canada used data on 39.3 thousand cases of cardiac arrest that occurred outside the hospital from 2005 to 2015. They found that only just over half (54%) of patients received CPR from a bystander in an emergency situation. At the same time, attempts were made to save women in 52 percent of cases and men in 55 percent.
When cardiac arrest occurred in a public place, CPR was performed on men in 68% of cases, while efforts were made to resuscitate women in 61% of cases.
Researchers concluded that women with heart failure had a 9% lower chance of being rescued by CPR compared to men by 9% per decade of age.
