From News-Medical (Link: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240522/New-survey-reveals-alarming-lack-of-emergency-preparedness-among-Americans.aspx):
If someone collapsed after going into cardiac arrest, would you be prepared to help? For nearly half of Americans, the answer is no.
A new survey from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center finds many Americans are ill-prepared to help in emergency situations.
The national poll of 1,005 people found only 51% of Americans feel they would be able to perform hands-only CPR in an emergency. When it comes to serious bleeding, 49% said they could step in to help. And 56% of survey participants said they can stop choking.
