Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical public health issue in Oregon, with approximately 2,200 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) occurring annually. In 2018, Oregon reported a bystander-initiated CPR rate of 50%, surpassing the national average of 40%. The state's Utstein survival rate—a metric assessing survival in specific cardiac arrest scenarios—was 39% in 2018, compared to 33% nationally.
Eugene-Springfield's HEARTSafe Community Program: Focused on increasing cardiac arrest survival through public awareness, education, and partnerships with relevant organizations.
Bend's HEARTSafe Initiative: Bend Fire & Rescue has been recognized with the American Heart Association's "Gold" Lifeline EMS award for five consecutive years, reflecting their commitment to improving cardiac arrest outcomes.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation's Oregon Chapter: Aims to support survivors and their families, celebrate life-saving efforts, and promote community programs that strengthen the chain of survival, including citizen CPR and public access defibrillation.
Multnomah County: In August 2024, American Medical Response (AMR) adjusted ambulance staffing to include one paramedic and one EMT, resulting in modest improvements in response times. However, challenges persisted, leading to a settlement agreement in September 2024, after which AMR reported significant improvements in response times over a 10-day period.
Washington County: After AMR took over ambulance services in August 2023, initial data indicated no immediate improvement in response times. The county and AMR have acknowledged these challenges and are working toward enhancements in service delivery.
These developments underscore Oregon's commitment to improving cardiac arrest survival rates and EMS response times through community engagement, program implementation, and continuous evaluation of emergency medical services.

In Oregon, Good Samaritan laws provide legal protection to individuals who provide emergency medical assistance, including CPR, in good faith.
Legal Protection: Under ORS 30.800, a person who provides emergency medical care (including CPR) at the scene of an emergency cannot be held liable for civil damages, as long as they act in good faith and without compensation.
No Duty to Act: Oregon law does not require bystanders to provide assistance, but if they choose to help, they are protected from legal liability.
Gross Negligence Exception: Protection does not apply if the person providing aid acts with gross negligence or reckless misconduct.
These laws encourage bystanders to assist in emergencies without fear of being sued, making it safer for people to perform CPR when needed.
