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.
In Texas, Good Samaritan laws protect individuals who provide emergency assistance, including CPR, in good faith. It's important to know the facts.
Texas Good Samaritan Law (Civil Practice and Remedies Code §74.151)
Protection from Liability: A person who in good faith administers emergency care (like CPR) at the scene of an emergency is generally not liable for civil damages resulting from their actions.
Applies to Bystanders:This includes laypersons and non-medical personnel who provide assistance without expecting compensation.
Use of an AED (Automated External Defibrillator): Texas also has laws protecting those who use an AED in emergencies. The law extends protection to both the user and the entity that owns the AED if it was maintained properly.
Exclusions
If the person acts with willful or wanton negligence (e.g., causing intentional harm), they are not protected.
Medical professionals giving care as part of their job may not be covered under the same immunity.
No Duty to Act
Texas law does not require bystanders to render aid in an emergency. This means that if you see someone in distress, you are not legally obligated to help. However, if you do choose to help (such as by performing CPR), you are generally protected under Good Samaritan laws (as long as you act in good faith and not recklessly).
If you attempt CPR in good faith during an emergency in Texas, you are legally protected from civil lawsuits as long as you do not act recklessly.
Cardiac arrest statistics in Texas
Cardiac arrest remains a significant public health concern in Texas. While comprehensive statewide statistics are limited, available data highlights critical issues.
In 2021, Texas reported 10,142 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). The average age of individuals experiencing OHCA was 62.1 years, with 60.9% being male. Notably, 71.2% of these cardiac arrests occurred at home or in residences, 12.5% in nursing homes, and 16.3% in public settings.
Nationally, the survival rate to hospital discharge for adult EMS-treated non-traumatic OHCA was 9.3% in 2022. Specifically, bystander-witnessed arrests had a 14.0% survival rate, while those witnessed by 9-1-1 responders had a 17.0% survival rate.
In Texas, the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) program aims to improve OHCA outcomes by collecting and analyzing data to identify areas for intervention.
Emergency response protocols for cardiac arrest emphasize immediate action. The American Heart Association's Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP) outlines essential steps, including:
Developing a Cardiac Emergency Response Team (CERT): Comprising trained individuals ready to respond to cardiac emergencies.
AED Placement and Maintenance: Ensuring Automated External Defibrillators are accessible and functional
Communication of the Plan: Making sure all stakeholders are aware of the emergency procedures
Training in CPR and AED Use: Regular training sessions for staff and, where appropriate, students or employees.
Integration with Local EMS: Coordinating efforts with local emergency medical services for a seamless response.
Conducting Practice Drills: Regularly rehearsing the response plan to ensure preparedness.
Implementing such protocols is crucial, as immediate CPR can double or triple a person's chance of survival during cardiac arrest.
In Texas, legislative measures have been introduced to enhance emergency response in schools. Senate Bill 2019 mandates that each school district and private school develop safety procedures for responding to medical emergencies involving cardiac arrest, including the use of AEDs and CPR administration.
These comprehensive approaches aim to improve survival rates and outcomes for individuals experiencing cardiac arrest in Texas.
