Good Samaritan laws in Idaho protect individuals who provide emergency medical assistance, including CPR, in good faith.
Legal Protection: Idaho Code § 5-330 states that any person who renders emergency care or assistance at the scene of an emergency, in good faith and without compensation, is protected from civil liability for any damages resulting from their actions.
Scope of Protection: This law covers individuals providing CPR, first aid, or other emergency care, as long as they act in good faith and do not engage in gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
Who is Covered?: The protection applies to bystanders, volunteers, and even medical professionals acting outside their normal job duties.
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Use: Idaho law also provides legal immunity to individuals who use an AED in an emergency, as long as they act in good faith and without compensation.
Limitations: Protection does not apply if the rescuer is reckless, intentionally causes harm, or expects financial compensation.
If you perform CPR in Idaho with good intentions and without expecting payment, you are generally protected from legal liability under the state's Good Samaritan laws.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Idaho
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health concern, both nationally and within Idaho. Each year, over 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) occur in the United States, with nearly 90% proving fatal.
Survival and Prevention in Idaho
While specific survival rates for Idaho are not readily available, national statistics indicate that survival to hospital discharge after EMS-treated cardiac arrest is approximately 10.4%, with 8.4% surviving with good functional status. Immediate administration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can double or triple a person's chance of survival.
EMS Response Times Across Idaho
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response times are critical in improving SCA outcomes. In Idaho, there is a notable disparity between urban and rural areas. Urban regions typically experience shorter response times due to closer proximity to EMS stations and better infrastructure. In contrast, rural communities often face longer response times, primarily due to the lack of EMS personnel and greater distances.
Nationally, median EMS response times are approximately 6 minutes in urban and suburban settings, but extend to 13 minutes in rural locations. This delay in rural areas can be critical in life-threatening situations like SCA.
Efforts to Improve EMS Services in Idaho
Recognizing these challenges, Idaho has established the Emergency Medical Services Sustainability Task Force (EMSSTF) to address the sustainability of EMS, particularly in rural communities. The task force aims to mitigate longer response times and ensure that all communities have access to timely emergency care.
Additionally, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare's Bureau of EMS and Preparedness oversees EMS licensing and preparedness programs to enhance the effectiveness of emergency medical responses statewide.
Sudden cardiac arrest remains a significant health issue, with survival heavily dependent on immediate intervention and timely EMS response. In Idaho, efforts are ongoing to improve EMS services, especially in rural areas, to enhance survival rates and ensure equitable emergency care access across the state.
