More than 240,000 people in the United States experience out of hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) each year. According to the U.S. Health and Human Services (USHHS), of those experiencing OHCA, only 38.2% have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed by bystanders before emergency personnel arrive. In order to increase the rate of bystander CPR and consequently reduce OHCA mortality, the USHHS developed the Healthy People 2020 (and now 2030) objectives to find ?strategies to increase bystanders? willingness to do CPR?. One possible strategy would be to focus on the reasons why people are not performing CPR and tailor a population-specific curriculum. Another strategy would be to promote education of a curriculum that is brief and widely available. The author proposes that compression-only CPR can achieve both of these goals. In this paper, we will look at the origins of CPR and its role in cardiac arrest. We will look at the data to expose the problems associated with low bystander CPR. We will look at compression-only CPR as a possible solution to this problem and compare it to traditional CPR. We will conclude our discussion by looking at current efforts promoting compression-only CPR and how we can use the current tools we have to achieve the goals set out by the HP 2030 objective. 000009268 540__ $$fCC BY 000009268 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009268 650__ $$aCardiopulmonary Resuscitation$$029500 000009268 651__ $$aUnited States$$041167 000009268 6531_ $$acpr 000009268 6531_ $$acardiac arrest 000009268 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009268 692__ $$aDivision of Physician Assistant Education$$041465 000009268 7001_ $$aBecket, Evan 000009268 789__ $$whttps://doi.org/10.6083/v405sb189$$2URL 000009268 8564_ $$9eb93147b-a044-4c0b-aee5-ef87cfac3d89$$s365264$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9268/files/Becket.Evan.2021.capstone.pdf 000009268 905__ $$a/rest/prod/zp/38/wd/34/zp38wd34j 000009268 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9268$$pstudent-work 000009268 980__ $$aPhysician Assistant Program collection
