CPaRlington continued forward with a focused cardiac arrest clinical response effort.
The Department embarked on a focused clinical effort that included expanded dispatcher and responder protocols. Our Medical Operations Section partnered with our ambulance provider to host another large-scale CPR event at the Ballpark. Arlington has one of the best save rates in the United States. In fact, AFD saved three cardiac arrest victims in one day!
TOTAL NUMBER TRAINED: 44,199
AFD and AMR Partner to Hold Large Scale CPR Event at Rangers Ballpark
In May, our ambulance provider sponsored a World CPR Challenge where each of their operations worldwide identified and executed CPR training events within their communities. AMR Arlington and AFD joined forces at Rangers Ballpark and collectively taught 2,250 individuals how to perform hands only CPR. In Texas, approximately 5,000 learned this life saving skill, with an additional 31,000 trained in communities worldwide.
