The study, presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress that took place Sept. 17-20 in Barcelona, Spain, analyzed 39,391 patient records of cardiac arrest outside of the hospital in Canada and the U.S. between 2005 and 2015.
Here are three findings:
- Bystanders performed 54 percent of CPR on patients, and women were less likely to be given CPR (52 percent) compared to men (55 percent).
- When emergencies happened in public places, the difference between genders increased: 61 percent of women received CPR compared with 68 percent of men. This remained true regardless of age.
- In private settings, men were about 9 percent less likely to be given CPR with every 10-year increase in age. Women were 3 percent less likely to receive CPR with every 10-year increase in age.
