Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests
The State has received reports of an increase in the number of out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA). They compared data from March, April and May of 2019 with the same time frame this year. They found the total 911 call volume was up 3.4 %, EMS run volume down 6% and Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests were up by 35 %. The percentages are for a statewide average and represent an unprecedented increase in out of hospital cardiac arrests. The state is requesting assistance in getting the message out to the citizens not to ignore critical signs and symptoms and that we are still there for them and the EMS system is safe.
SaveMIHeart.org, is a non-profit organization in Michigan uniting the community, first responders, EMS systems, and health systems to improve cardiac arrest survival. It's mission is to double survival by 2020 of patients who sustain a cardiac arrest in the community.
