“We don’t know why this is the case,” says study co-author and emergency medicine physician Dr Alexis Cournoyer from Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal in Canada. Study co-author and nurse researcher Dr Sylvie Cossette from the Montreal Heart Institute’s Research Centre in Canada says: “We carried out this study to try to uncover factors that might discourage people from delivering CPR, including any factors that might deter people from giving CPR to a woman.“This could help us make sure that anyone who needs CPR gets it, regardless of gender, age or location.
The researchers had analysed data on more than 39,000 cardiac arrests that happened outside of a hospital setting in Canada and the United States between 2005 and 2015.The patients had an average age of 67 and 29% of the cases were in women.The researchers found that in public locations, women were 28% less likely to receive CPR compared to men.
