Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical medical emergency that requires immediate intervention. In New Mexico, several initiatives aim to improve survival rates and enhance emergency medical services (EMS) response times.
Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program (HDSPP): The New Mexico Department of Health's HDSPP collaborates with communities, health systems, and providers to implement strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention and management. Their mission is to enhance the health of New Mexicans by promoting effective cardiovascular care.
Project Pulse: Established by the Heart Hospital of New Mexico Foundation, Project Pulse aims to increase survival rates for SCA victims statewide. The program provides first responders with advanced technology to prevent premature deaths from SCA, including the placement of lifesaving devices in approved businesses and organizations, accompanied by staff training.
Resuscitation Rangers: Lovelace Health System's initiative, Resuscitation Rangers, focuses on training individuals in immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation using automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Prompt intervention can more than double a victim’s chance of survival.
American Heart Association Training Center: Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell offers courses through the American Heart Association Training Center, teaching rescuers skills in CPR and relief of foreign-body airway obstruction. The courses also cover the recognition of heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, and choking signs in adults, infants, and children.
Urban Areas: In Albuquerque, the Fire Rescue Department reported that their response times exceed national accreditation standards. In 2022, Albuquerque firefighters and paramedics responded to over 108,000 calls for service, indicating a robust EMS infrastructure.
Rural Areas: A study published in the National Library of Medicine highlighted that EMS units average a 7-minute response time from the moment of a 911 call to arrival on the scene. However, this median time increases to over 14 minutes in rural settings, with nearly 10% of encounters experiencing waits of almost 30 minutes for EMS personnel. Longer response times have been associated with worse outcomes in trauma patients.
Staffing Challenges: The Santa Fe Regional Emergency Communications Center experienced a significant staffing shortfall, with vacancy rates rising from 49% in November to 67% by June 2022. This shortage has contributed to longer response times, although efforts are ongoing to fill the open positions and maintain timely call responses.
New Mexico has implemented various programs to improve SCA survival rates, focusing on prevention, training, and rapid response. While urban areas like Albuquerque maintain commendable EMS response times, rural regions face challenges due to longer response durations and staffing shortages. Addressing these disparities is crucial for ensuring timely and effective emergency medical care throughout the state.

In New Mexico, Good Samaritan laws are designed to encourage individuals to assist others in emergencies, such as performing CPR, by providing legal protection against civil liability. According to New Mexico Statutes Section 24-10-3, any person who, in good faith, provides care or assistance at or near the scene of an emergency shall not be held liable for any civil damages resulting from their actions or omissions, except in cases of gross negligence.
It's important to note that this immunity does not apply if the care is rendered for remuneration or with the expectation of remuneration, or if the person providing assistance was at the scene soliciting business or performing services for compensation.
Individuals who voluntarily and without expectation of payment perform CPR or other emergency assistance in New Mexico are generally protected under these Good Samaritan laws, provided they act in good faith and without gross negligence.
