Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a critical medical emergency that requires immediate intervention. In Wisconsin, approximately 90% of individuals who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest do not survive. However, certain regions have reported higher survival rates. For instance, in 2022, Dane County achieved a 65% survival rate for cases where a bystander intervened and the heart had a rhythm that could be shocked, significantly surpassing the national average of 34% and the state average of approximately 42%.
The likelihood of surviving SCA increases substantially with immediate bystander intervention, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). In Wisconsin, efforts have been made to embed high-quality CPR training in schools statewide, aiming to create a generational shift where all citizens are prepared to act in such emergencies. Nationally, immediate CPR can double or triple the chance of survival from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response times are a crucial factor in the survival and outcome of cardiac arrest incidents. In Wisconsin, EMS response capabilities vary, with some agencies experiencing challenges in maintaining 24/7 availability. A 2023 survey revealed that 41% of EMS agencies reported periods in the past year when a legal crew was not available, indicating potential gaps in emergency response coverage. This issue is more pronounced in rural areas, where EMS response times can be two to three times longer than in urban settings, often due to factors such as sparse populations, long distances, and limited resources. Nationally, the median EMS response time is approximately 7 minutes, but in rural settings, this increases to over 14 minutes, with nearly 10% of encounters experiencing delays of almost 30 minutes.
To enhance survival rates and reduce EMS response times, Wisconsin has implemented initiatives like the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) program, which aims to improve survival rates through data collection and analysis. Additionally, increasing public awareness and training in CPR and AED use are vital components in improving outcomes for sudden cardiac arrest victims.

Good Samaritan laws in Wisconsin provide legal protection to individuals who provide emergency medical assistance, including CPR, in good faith.
Legal Protection: Under Wis. Stat. § 895.48(1), individuals who render emergency care at the scene of an emergency in good faith are generally protected from civil liability.
Scope: This protection applies to bystanders, including those without formal medical training, as long as they act voluntarily and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs): Wisconsin also provides legal protection to individuals using AEDs in good faith during emergencies (Wis. Stat. § 895.497).
Exception: The law does not protect individuals who act recklessly or intentionally cause harm while attempting to provide aid.
These laws encourage bystanders to assist in emergencies without fear of being sued, making it more likely that people will step in to provide lifesaving CPR.
