> Interviews with bystanders revealed people had concerns about the public exposure of women's chests, causing injury, or mistaking when a woman was experiencing a cardiac arrest. An international study finds people are less likely to give a woman CPR due to fears of hurting her or being accused of inappropriate touching. The study found, however, that rates of bystander CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, had increased significantly for women — from 42.7 per cent in 2002-03 to 71.3 per cent in 2020-21. The gender disparity between women and men in the CPR data was found to be not as pronounced, as little as 2 per cent.
