Statistics on Bystander CPR; Shows Room for Improvement
Recent statistics on the prevalence of CPR brings with it both good and unfortunate news.
The good news: thanks to the ubiquity and affordability of on-site CPR training, more and more people can perform the technique.
The unfortunate news: while more people can perform CPR, not all perform it properly. Research indicates that only approximately 50% of what’s deemed “bystander CPR” — CPR performed by a non-EMT individual – is performed correctly.
