Ohio's Good Samaritan Law, codified in Ohio Revised Code Section 2305.23, provides legal protection to individuals who administer emergency care, such as CPR, at the scene of an emergency. This statute states that no person shall be liable in civil damages for administering emergency care or treatment at the scene of an emergency outside of a hospital, doctor's office, or other place having proper medical equipment, unless such acts constitute willful or wanton misconduct.
In essence, this law encourages bystanders to assist those in need during emergencies without fear of legal repercussions, provided their actions are in good faith and do not involve willful or wanton misconduct. Willful or wanton misconduct refers to behavior that shows a conscious disregard for the rights and safety of others, going beyond mere negligence.
It's important to note that this protection generally applies to individuals who voluntarily offer aid without expecting any compensation. Professional rescuers, such as doctors and nurses, may not be covered under this law if they are acting within the scope of their employment.
By understanding and adhering to Ohio's Good Samaritan Law, individuals can confidently provide necessary emergency assistance, such as CPR, knowing they are legally protected when acting responsibly and in good faith.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Ohio
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health issue in Ohio, with survival rates heavily influenced by immediate intervention. Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can double or triple a victim's chance of survival, yet only 33% of cardiac arrest cases in Ohio receive such assistance, which is below the national average of 41% and significantly lower than the highest-performing states at 75% .
Ohio SCA initiatives
Ohio CARES: The Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) is a statewide program that collects and analyzes data across the entire "chain of survival," including actions by the public, emergency dispatch, first responders, EMS agencies, and hospitals. This comprehensive approach aims to identify areas for improvement and enhance survival outcomes.
"Every Minute Counts" Campaign: Launched by the Ohio Department of Public Safety, this initiative emphasizes the importance of bystander intervention. The campaign educates the public on performing hands-only CPR and other basic life-saving skills, highlighting that immediate action can significantly increase survival rates.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response times in Ohio
Urban and Suburban Areas: For instance, Delaware County EMS aims to respond within 4 to 8 minutes of any call for assistance. Hudson EMS reported an average response time of approximately 5.45 minutes in 2023.
Rural Areas: Response times can be longer. A study indicated that EMS units average 7 minutes from the time of a 911 call to arrival on scene, with median times increasing to over 14 minutes in rural settings. In nearly 10% of rural encounters, waits can approach 30 minutes, underscoring the critical need for bystander intervention in these regions.
It's important to note that while the Ohio Emergency Medical Services Agency collects response time data, state law restricts the release of information about individual departments to the public. Consequently, only countywide average response times are available, which may not reflect the variability among different departments.
Ohio is actively working to improve SCA survival rates through public education and comprehensive data analysis. However, EMS response times vary across the state, making bystander intervention a crucial component in enhancing survival outcomes.
