In Kansas, the Good Samaritan law is outlined in Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A.) 65-2891. This statute provides legal protection for individuals who render emergency care or assistance in good faith, such as performing CPR.
Act in good faith (with honest intentions).
Do not act recklessly or with gross negligence.
Provide assistance within the scope of your training (for example, providing CPR if you're trained to do so).
Kansas law encourages people to assist others in emergencies by offering this protection from civil liability, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence.
It's important to note that the Good Samaritan law applies to non-professional rescuers, so as long as you’re helping someone in an emergency and not engaging in dangerous or reckless actions, you should be protected from lawsuits or legal consequences.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Kansas
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health concern in Kansas, as it is nationwide. Annually, approximately 356,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States, with a survival rate of about 9.1%. In Kansas, the survival rate to hospital discharge is approximately 25.4%.
Prevention and Preparedness Initiatives in Kansas
To enhance survival rates, Kansas has implemented several initiatives focused on prevention and preparedness:
CPR Training in Schools: Advocates are promoting mandatory CPR training for high school students. With over 500,000 students enrolled in public schools, this initiative aims to equip a significant portion of the population with lifesaving skills, potentially transforming bystanders into immediate responders during cardiac emergencies.
Project ADAM Kansas: Affiliated with the national Project ADAM, this program assists schools in developing and maintaining effective emergency response plans to prevent sudden cardiac death. By fostering awareness and preparedness, it aims to create safer environments for students and staff.
EMS Response Times Across Kansas
Efficient Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response times are crucial for improving SCA survival rates. Response times can vary across different regions in Kansas.
Sedgwick County (Wichita Area): In 2023, EMS response times in parts of western Wichita increased by nearly 40%, attributed to the relocation of Post 1 due to infrastructure issues. Sedgwick County EMS provides an interactive dashboard featuring data on EMS operations, including call volume and response times, to monitor and improve services.
Lawrence: The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Department aims to respond to emergencies within six minutes or less 80% of the time. Currently, they staff six medic units operating 24/7 to meet this goal.
Kansas City: In 2024, Kansas City experienced increased hold times for 911 calls, with average wait times reaching 53 seconds, exceeding national standards. This delay can impact the timely dispatch of EMS services.
Continuous efforts are underway to improve EMS response times and ensure that communities are equipped to handle cardiac emergencies effectively. By enhancing public awareness, expanding CPR training, and optimizing EMS operations, Kansas aims to improve survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest victims.
