Introduction:
In the United States, only 8.2% of people treated for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in 2023 survived with good neurological function. The interval from the onset of cardiac arrest to the start of CPR and defibrillation is strongly associated with survival and neurologic recovery. We present our process of conducting stakeholder engagement sessions to engage an OHCA Learning Community to develop an intervention to decrease time to first treatment (CPR and AED) and improve survival from OHCA in Michigan's Washtenaw and Livingston Counties.
Methods:
We conducted a CPR survey, a Community Engagement Studio, and three stakeholder engagement sessions with the OHCA Learning Community in Washtenaw and Livingston Counties in Michigan to achieve three goals: (1) increasing public awareness of OHCA, (2) engaging diverse and underserved communities, and (3) developing an intervention.
Results:
As a result of these sessions, we identified improving in-home OHCA response, addressing disparities in underserved and minority communities, and increasing capacity among families and friends as the key targets for intervention.
Conclusion:
Based on these sessions, we developed a HeartSafe Home intervention that aims to prepare household members to respond to a cardiac arrest at home.
