A new study reveals that anxiety about inappropriate touching is preventing bystanders from administering CPR to women, with over 30% of men voicing concerns about accusations.
Research indicates that nearly a quarter of respondents would hesitate to perform CPR on women due to fears linked to touching their breasts, contributing to a disturbing disparity.
The study highlights that 68% of women are likely to receive CPR in emergencies, compared to 73% of men, reflecting a significant gender gap in survival rates.
With an estimated 8,200 women in England and Wales potentially lost due to insufficient CPR, the campaign aims to destigmatize these crucial interventions for cardiac events.
