In Kentucky, the Good Samaritan Law is found in Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 411.148.
KRS 411.148 - Good Samaritan Law
A person who, in good faith and without expectation of compensation, renders emergency care at the scene of an emergency to a person who is injured, ill, or in distress is not liable for any civil damages as a result of any acts or omissions, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The protection extends to acts of CPR and first aid, and other similar acts intended to assist someone in an emergency situation.
The law does not protect a person who has a duty to care for the individual (e.g., medical professionals or someone already responsible for the person’s care).
This statute encourages people to assist others during emergencies without fear of legal consequences, unless their actions are deemed to be grossly negligent or intentionally harmful.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Kentucky
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health concern in Kentucky, where heart disease remains the leading cause of death.
Efforts to improve survival rates and prevention strategies are multifaceted, involving community initiatives, healthcare system enhancements, and legislative actions.
Survival Rates and Prevention Initiatives
Kentucky HeartSafe Communities: This program recognizes communities that have established the "Chain of Survival" to effectively address cardiac emergencies.
Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program: The Kentucky Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (KHDSP) Program focuses on improving hypertension diagnosis and stroke treatment.
Hospital Recognition: Baptist Health Paducah received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation Gold-Adult quality achievement award for its commitment to treating in-hospital cardiac arrest, ultimately helping to improve survival rates.
EMS Response Times Across Kentucky
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response times are crucial in determining outcomes for cardiac arrest patients. Data from the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services indicates that average response times vary significantly across counties. For instance, Mason County has an average response time of 27.75 minutes, while Crittenden County's average is notably higher at 179.84 minutes.
In urban areas like Jefferson County, disparities in EMS response times have been observed. For example, there is a 30-minute response time difference between Jeffersontown and the City of St. Matthews.
Efforts to improve response times include technological upgrades. In Owensboro, a 911 system upgrade reduced ambulance response times by an average of 40 seconds.
Legislative measures have also been proposed to address response times. House Bill 296 aimed to set a 60-minute maximum response time for hospital patient transfers, though it faced opposition from EMS providers due to concerns about staffing and resources.
Kentucky continues to implement various strategies to enhance survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest and improve EMS response times. These efforts involve community programs, healthcare system improvements, and policy initiatives to ensure timely and effective cardiac emergency responses.
