In North Dakota, individuals who provide emergency care, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), are generally protected under the state's Good Samaritan laws. According to North Dakota Century Code § 32-03.1-02, a person who renders aid to someone injured or ill due to an accident or other trauma cannot be held liable in a civil action for their acts or omissions during the emergency assistance, unless it is proven that their behavior constituted intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
Additionally, North Dakota Century Code § 32-03.1-02.3 specifically addresses the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). It provides immunity from civil liability to individuals who, in good faith and without compensation, offer training in the use of an AED, or who provide emergency care or treatment using an AED. This immunity applies to any personal injury resulting from such training or emergency care, as long as the individual's actions do not amount to gross negligence or willful misconduct.
These provisions aim to encourage bystanders to assist in emergencies without fear of legal repercussions, provided they act reasonably and without gross negligence.
Cardiac arrest statistics in North Dakota
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.
Survival and Prevention Initiatives in North Dakota
To enhance survival rates and prevent SCA incidents, North Dakota has implemented several key initiatives:
Cardiac Ready Community Program
This program aims to bolster community preparedness for cardiac emergencies by promoting the American Heart Association's Chain of Survival.
Immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and activation of emergency response systems.
Early CPR with high-quality chest compressions.
Rapid defibrillation.
Effective basic and advanced life support.
Integrated post-cardiac arrest care.
Recovery.
Communities meeting specific criteria, such as widespread CPR training, public access to Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), and established emergency response protocols, can achieve the Cardiac Ready Community designation.
Educational Initiatives
The North Dakota Safety Council highlights that less than 10% of cardiac arrest victims survive. However, bystander intervention with CPR or AED usage before EMS arrival can double or triple survival rates. They offer training programs to equip individuals with these life-saving skills.
Cardiac Ready Campus Designation
The University of North Dakota (UND) became the state's first Cardiac Ready Campus, emphasizing education, training, and community awareness to improve survival rates from cardiac events.
EMS Response Times in North Dakota
Efficient Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response times are vital for favorable outcomes in cardiac emergencies.
State Regulations
North Dakota Administrative Code mandates that the time from dispatch to the ambulance being en route should not exceed 10 minutes in 90% of incidents where a potential life threat exists.
Actual Response Times
The average response time for all ground ambulance services is approximately 8 minutes and 36 seconds, with 74% of responses occurring in under 10 minutes.
In major cities like Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks, Mandan, Minot, and West Fargo, the average response time is about 7 minutes and 11 seconds, with 84% of responses under 10 minutes.
In other areas, the average response time extends to approximately 11 minutes and 5 seconds.
Challenges in Rural Areas
Rural regions face extended EMS response times due to factors like vast distances and staffing shortages. Notably, North Dakota has an average EMS response time of 14.36 minutes, ranking third among states with the longest response times.
To address these challenges, North Dakota is enhancing telemedicine services and community education to improve emergency response and care in rural settings.
By focusing on community preparedness, education, and improving EMS infrastructure, North Dakota aims to enhance survival rates for sudden cardiac arrest and ensure timely emergency responses across the state.
