In Arizona, Good Samaritan laws provide legal protection to individuals who offer emergency medical assistance, such as CPR, in good faith. Here’s what you need to know:
Legal Protection: Arizona law (A.R.S. § 32-1471) protects people who render emergency care, including CPR, from civil liability, as long as they act in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Who is Covered?
Bystanders providing CPR or other aid in an emergency.
Healthcare professionals offering assistance outside of a formal healthcare setting.
Use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) in an emergency is also protected.
Exceptions:
If the rescuer is reckless or acts with gross negligence.
If they expect compensation for providing aid.
If they abandon the person after starting care without ensuring proper handoff to medical personnel.
Arizona's Good Samaritan laws encourage people to step in and help without fear of being sued, making it safer to provide CPR in emergencies.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Arizona
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health concern in Arizona, affecting approximately 7,600 individuals annually. Recognizing the urgency of this issue, Arizona has implemented several initiatives to enhance survival rates and prevention strategies.
Survival Rates and Prevention Programs
SHARE Program
The Save Hearts in Arizona Registry and Education (SHARE) Program is a collaborative effort involving the Arizona Department of Health Services, the University of Arizona, and numerous hospitals and emergency medical service (EMS) agencies. This program promotes a standardized system of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest care across Arizona, encompassing all "links" in the "chain of survival," including bystander response, dispatcher-assisted CPR instruction, EMS provider resuscitation, and standardized hospital care.
Cardiac Receiving Centers
Arizona has established designated Cardiac Receiving Centers, which have significantly improved survival rates for SCA patients. A study indicated that implementing this system led to a dramatic increase in survival rates, with patients more than twice as likely to survive with good neurological outcomes.
Dispatcher-Assisted CPR
The state emphasizes the importance of dispatcher-assisted CPR programs. Properly trained dispatchers can guide callers through CPR procedures, helping to overcome barriers and increase the likelihood of survival.
EMS Response Times Across Arizona
EMS response times are crucial in determining outcomes for SCA incidents. In Phoenix, data from the first ten months of 2024 indicates that the citywide average response time for critical EMS calls was 7 minutes and 18 seconds. However, disparities exist within the city; for instance, District 2 experienced average response times of 8 minutes and 19 seconds for critical EMS calls, exceeding the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) recommended response time of 5 minutes.
To address these challenges, the Phoenix Fire Department has initiated measures to improve EMS response times, including plans to increase the number of full-time ambulances to better meet the growing demand for emergency medical services.
Statewide, the Arizona Department of Health Services oversees EMS operations through the Certificate of Necessity (CON) system, which regulates ground ambulance services to ensure adequate coverage, especially in rural and frontier areas. The CON outlines specific requirements, including geographic service areas, levels of service, hours of operation, and response time standards, to maintain a consistent and effective EMS system throughout the state.
Arizona has implemented comprehensive strategies to improve survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest through programs like SHARE and the establishment of Cardiac Receiving Centers. While EMS response times vary across the state, ongoing efforts aim to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency medical services to ensure timely care for all residents.
