Increasing Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) survival rates with the HeartRescue project
The HeartRescue Project is a collaborative effort to increase sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) survival rates in the United States. Initiated and funded by a $15 million grant over five years by the Medtronic Foundation, this unprecedented initiative assembles leading U.S. emergency and resuscitation experts with a goal to improve out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates by at least 50 percent within pilot states of Arizona, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Washington. The project's select non-profit partners promote a recognized, replicable, and measurable model that coordinates training and technologies for the general public, first responders and EMS, as well as effective post resuscitation care in the hospital, to maximize survival rates.
