Healthcare Provider BLS
Covers Adult, Child, Infant CPR, AED and Choking. Designed for anyone who has a CPR certification requirement for their job or school.
In Michigan, Good Samaritan laws are designed to protect individuals who voluntarily provide emergency assistance, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), from civil liability. Specifically, Michigan Compiled Laws (MCL) 691.1504 states that a person who in good faith voluntarily renders CPR to another individual is generally not liable for civil damages resulting from their actions or omissions, except in cases of gross negligence or willful and wanton misconduct.
This legal protection applies regardless of whether the individual has received formal CPR training. The law aims to encourage bystanders to assist during emergencies without fear of legal repercussions, provided they act reasonably and within their level of training.
It's important to note that while Michigan law encourages individuals to provide emergency assistance, there is no legal obligation to do so. However, those who choose to help are generally protected under the Good Samaritan law, fostering a supportive environment for bystander intervention in critical situations.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Michigan
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical medical emergency where the heart unexpectedly stops beating, leading to a loss of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Immediate intervention is crucial for survival.
SCA Survival Rates in Michigan
Approximately 250 to over 300 Michigan children and young adults (ages 1-39) die annually from sudden cardiac death.
Historically, survival rates have varied significantly across regions. Nearly two decades ago, Detroit reported a survival rate of 0.2%, while Seattle had a rate of 16%.
EMS Response Times in Michigan
In Flint, the average emergency response time for 911 calls requiring an ambulance was 14 minutes and 10 seconds in early 2023, a slight improvement from the previous year.
Detroit's investments in first responders have reduced average EMS response times to 7 minutes and 33 seconds, below the national average.
In 2022, some mid-Michigan communities reported average ambulance response times of 12 minutes and 7 seconds.
The Manistee Fire Department responded to 1,068 EMS calls in 2024, accounting for 84% of their total calls.
Prevention and Improvement Measures
Early Intervention: Training police and fire department personnel in CPR and AED use can significantly improve survival rates. A Michigan study found that such interventions were associated with higher chances of survival and favorable neurological outcomes.
Public Awareness: Educating the public on recognizing SCA symptoms and performing CPR can double or triple a victim's chance of survival.
EMS Resources: Addressing EMS staffing shortages is crucial, as reduced personnel can lead to longer response and transport times, impacting patient outcomes.
By focusing on these strategies, Michigan can enhance SCA survival rates and ensure timely emergency medical responses statewide.
