Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation differences by sex – the role of arrest recognition

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with poor survival [1,2,3]. Bystander response, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED), is associated with greater survival and better neurological outcomes [4,5,6]. However, the provision of bystander CPR varies by physical, social, and attitudinal factors related to the bystander and patient [7,8]. There is also emerging evidence that bystander response may differ depending on the patient ’s sex [9,10,11].
