Cardiac arrest statistics in Washington DC
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health issue in the United States, with over 350,000 out-of-hospital cases occurring annually, nearly 90% of which are fatal.
Survival Rates and Prevention Efforts in Washington, D.C.
In Washington, D.C., survival rates for cardiac arrest patients have shown improvement over recent years. Notably, when bystander CPR is administered, survival rates have increased from 16% to 26%. This underscores the importance of immediate intervention by bystanders.
To enhance survival rates, the D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department (FEMS) emphasizes rapid defibrillation. Delivering the first shock within 4-5 minutes of SCA onset is crucial for improving outcomes. FEMS has also implemented public access defibrillator programs and offers CPR training to residents, aiming to empower the community in emergency situations.
EMS Response Times in Washington, D.C.
FEMS evaluates response times to emergency medical services (EMS) incidents to ensure timely care. For higher priority EMS calls, which are considered time-sensitive and potentially life-threatening, FEMS aims to meet specific response time goals to positively impact patient outcomes.
Detailed performance metrics, including response times and call volumes, are publicly available through FEMS. These metrics provide insights into the department's efficiency and areas for improvement.
Washington, D.C. has made significant strides in addressing sudden cardiac arrest through community engagement in CPR training, strategic placement of defibrillators, and continuous evaluation of EMS response times.
