some 2015 USA statistics here
quoting from the article -
Traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation used manual chest compressions, Lockard said, but national outcomes have been poor, with less than 10 percent of patients surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, according to the American Heart Association.
The longer it takes emergency personnel to get to the patient, the less likely the patient will survive a cardiac arrest, he said.
The ResQCPR System, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2016, is the first and only device indicated to improve the likelihood of survival in adults who have experienced non-traumatic sudden cardiac arrest.
The system is composed of a ResQPUMP, a hand-held pumping device with a suction cup that is placed on the chest during CPR to perform active compression-decompression CPR, and the ResQPOD ITD, a respiratory adjunct that returns more blood to the heart and lowers intracranial pressure by regulating airflow during CPR to increase the vacuum in a patient's chest during chest wall recoil.
