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.
Nevada's Good Samaritan laws, outlined in NRS 41.500, are designed to encourage bystanders to assist in emergencies by providing legal protection to those who offer aid in good faith. Specifically, individuals who perform CPR or use a defibrillator during an emergency are generally shielded from civil liability, provided their actions do not constitute gross negligence and they do not expect compensation.
Key aspects of Nevada's Good Samaritan laws
Good Faith Assistance: The law protects those who provide emergency care with genuine intentions, without any expectation of payment.
Scope of Protection: Protection extends to various emergency actions, such as performing CPR, removing clothing to attach AED pads, applying pressure to serious wounds, assisting choking individuals, or moving someone from a dangerous area.
Exceptions to these protections.
Gross Negligence or Intentional Harm: If the assistance provided is grossly negligent or intentionally harmful, the individual may be held liable for damages.
Duty to Provide Aid: Individuals who have a legal obligation to provide assistance, such as certain professionals, may not be covered under the Good Samaritan law if their assistance causes harm.
Expectation of Compensation: The protections typically do not apply if the individual expects or receives payment for their assistance.
It's also important to note that while these laws encourage bystanders to assist in emergencies, there is generally no legal obligation for a bystander to provide aid.
Nevada's Good Samaritan laws aim to encourage individuals to provide emergency assistance, such as CPR, by offering legal protections, as long as the aid is rendered in good faith and without gross negligence.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Nevada
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical medical emergency that requires immediate intervention to improve survival outcomes. In Nevada, various initiatives and programs aim to enhance SCA survival rates and prevention strategies.
SCA Survival Rates in Nevada
Historically, survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) have been low. Nationally, survival to hospital discharge after emergency medical services (EMS)-treated OHCA was approximately 9%, with 7% surviving with good functional status. In Nevada, specific regions have made notable progress. For instance, the City of Henderson achieved survival rates as high as 50% by implementing comprehensive EMS protocols and community engagement
Prevention Programs in Nevada
The Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health established the Cardiovascular Health Program in 2013, focusing on preventing and reducing premature death and disability from heart disease and stroke. This program emphasizes:
Prevention, detection, and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.
Early detection and treatment of CVD.
Eliminating disparities limiting health literacy and access to optimal cardiovascular health care.
Additionally, the Southern Nevada Health District offers trauma injury prevention programs, aiming to educate the public and reduce the incidence of serious injuries, including those leading to cardiac events
.
EMS Response Times Across Nevada
EMS response times are crucial in determining outcomes for SCA patients. In Nevada, response times vary by region.
Clark County: The Clark County Fire Department (CCFD) set a response time goal of 7 minutes for 90% of incidents. However, private ambulance companies have faced challenges meeting the contractual requirement to arrive within 12 minutes for 90% of priority calls, leading to coverage changes.
Northern Nevada: The Northern Nevada Public Health outlines zone-specific response time goals
Zone A: 8 minutes and 59 seconds or less.
Zone B: 15 minutes and 59 seconds or less.
Zone C: 20 minutes and 59 seconds or less.
Zone D: 30 minutes and 59 seconds or less.
Zone E: As quickly as possible.
Rural Areas: Residents in rural Nevada often experience longer emergency response times due to vast distances and limited resources. Efforts are ongoing to address these challenges and improve EMS coverage.
In summary, Nevada continues to implement and enhance programs aimed at improving SCA survival rates and EMS response times. Ongoing community engagement, public education, and infrastructure development are key components in these efforts.
