A recent study found that bystanders are less likely to perform CPR on women during cardiac arrests, which may be due to training practices that favor male-styled dummies.
The research examined 4,491 cases and noted a disparity in CPR rates: 74% for men and 65% for women, pointing to possible implicit biases in emergency response.
Dr. Rebecca Szabo highlights that using more inclusive CPR manakins could improve training outcomes, helping bystanders feel comfortable addressing the needs of women in emergencies.
A survey noted that societal concerns about touching breasts contribute to fewer women receiving chest compressions during cardiac arrests, highlighting deep-seated biases in emergency care.
