Nebraska's Good Samaritan law, codified in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,186, provides legal protection to individuals who voluntarily and without compensation render emergency care at the scene of an accident or other emergency. Specifically, the statute states that such individuals "shall not be held liable for any civil damages as a result of any act or omission" in providing that care.
This legal protection encourages bystanders to assist those in need during emergencies, including performing CPR, without fear of civil liability, provided their actions are not grossly negligent or willfully reckless.
It's important to note that while the law offers immunity from civil damages for ordinary negligence, it does not protect individuals whose actions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Therefore, if you are in Nebraska and encounter someone in need of CPR, you can administer aid without fear of civil liability, as long as you act in good faith and your actions are reasonable under the circumstances.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Nebraska
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical medical emergency that requires immediate intervention. In Nebraska, various initiatives and data highlight efforts in survival, prevention, and emergency medical services (EMS) response times.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest Survival and Prevention in Nebraska
Survival Rates: Nationally, the survival rate to hospital discharge after EMS-treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is approximately 9%. In Lincoln, Nebraska, the survival rate for non-traumatic cardiac arrest cases was reported at 16.9% in 2020, significantly higher than the national average.
Prevention Programs:
Project ADAM: This initiative aims to prepare schools for cardiac emergencies by promoting the establishment of Heart Safe Schools. The program emphasizes the importance of immediate treatment, noting that the risk of sudden cardiac death in young people is as high as 8.3 per 100,000 annually. Over 200 lives have been saved through Project ADAM affiliate programs.
American Heart Association (AHA) Efforts: The AHA's Nebraska team conducts training sessions, supplies schools with CPR training and equipment, and spreads awareness about the importance of immediate CPR. They highlight that CPR can double or triple the chances of survival following a cardiac arrest.
EMS Response Times Across Nebraska
Statewide Assessment: A 2022 study utilized Geospatial Information System (GIS) mapping to assess EMS response and hospital arrival times in Nebraska's rural and urban counties. The goal was to identify underserved areas and propose interventions to improve EMS services.
Lincoln Fire and Rescue (LFR): In 2021, LFR reported a survival rate of 16.9% for non-traumatic cardiac arrest cases, compared to the national average of 9%. Additionally, bystanders performed CPR 70.9% of the time before LFR's arrival, higher than the national rate of 40.2%.
