Updated data from Penn Medicine CPR survey underscores training disparities among older adults
PHILADELPHIA, PA -- The likelihood of a family member or friend stepping in to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a person suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) at home decreases with the victim's age, suggests a new study from Penn Medicine that also found low CPR training rates among older Americans.
The results were published this week in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
