CPR & AED Training

Communities that have increased out-of-hospital survival rates have done so through public awareness campaigns, widespread training in Hands-Only CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use, as well as the placement of AEDs in public locations. Leading the Nation in 2016 is Seattle, Washington, whose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rate is 56% (the average survival rate for the remainder of the U.S. – if CPR is not administered in the first four to six minutes – is less than 10%).
