The AHA says they saw a 620% increase in page views to the “Hands-Only CPR” pages on its website along with a 145% increase in page views to their 'What is CPR' page.
. Two major AED manufacturers - Philips and Stryker - tell ABC News they are now growing their AED business in response to increased awareness.
“In these last 9 months we have seen such a huge increase in awareness and education, and just people wanting to learn more about CPRs and AEDs and cardiac arrests then I have seen in my nine years prior”, said Dr. Comilla Sasson an emergency medicine physician and the Vice President for Health Sciences with the American Heart Association.
In the U.S., fewer than half of people who experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital receive bystander CPR, according to the 2023 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics from the American Heart Association. In the U.S., Black people and those who are in lower socioeconomic status neighborhoods are less likely to have CPR performed than a person in a higher socioeconomic status neighborhood and that is white.But Sasson says AHA is “up for the challenge." The organization has community sites for training, free 90-second videos on their website and promote a “train the trainer” model approach to encourage CPR awareness and education by paying it forward.
