That number may be different because of a lower survival chance of women combined with a lower incidence rate. I read several articles that suggested much higher rates for men, as do the heart disease deaths, I suppose. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30354377/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30354377/ lists 63% male.
As for AED: It's the guideline in Germany, but we've also had a push for public availability, with most schools, banks, malls, larger offices etc having a portable one on site. I got to train with it during a first aid refresher recently, and it definitely taught me that I might need treatment as well if I'm to do CPR for 12-15 minutes.
- bookofjoe 6y agoExcellent point. Most fit people can do 5 minutes of effective chest compressions before they tire. If you're alone, consider using your foot (with shoe) if your arms get tired. It's equally effective and less tiring. Watch out for the looks you'll get!
