Factors analysis of lower probability of receiving bystander CPR in females: a web-based survey

The lower likelihood of women receiving CPR is influenced by gender bias, societal norms, and training limitations. Addressing this issue requires public education to eliminate gender-based hesitation, improvements in CPR training programs to include female mannequins, and enhanced legal protections to reduce rescuer concerns. These measures can be combined with other key factors such as community-wide CPR training programs and increasing the availability of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to help promote equity in access to life-saving interventions. Targeted interventions can promote gender equity in emergency response, ultimately improving survival outcomes for women.
