The Great American Holocaust
If the average response time for emergency services in the USA dropped from 6 minutes to 1 minute, how many lives could be saved every year?
http://www.acoem.org/uploadedFiles/Continuing_Education/Tools_for_Occ_Health_Professional/AED/aedsurvey.pdf - 2003 report - 3 citations here concerning 90% save rates within 1 minute - also - people have survived 10 minutes of VF with no neurological deficits - added 6/9/2016
Presently in the USA we have 400,000 'out of hospital' sudden cardiac arrests annually - this includes medical and trauma caused arrests - only 5 % are saved with the present system
With 1 minute response times - maybe 250,000 would be saved ----->>> maybe a 95% save rate on medical heart attacks (apparently 200,000 of them) - and maybe 50,000 of 200,000 trauma related cardiac arrests could be saved - especially if all cops started to respond to EMS calls and carry blood clot and tourniquets
Bottom line - apparently 250,000 USAers are dying needlessly every year due to slow emergency response times. Could they be saved within the presently existing budgets? Yup I really think they could. It just will take a huge mind shift by the PDs and FDs.
