I’m a person with b***s, and I can assure you that if I ever have a cardiac arrest, I would very much like someone to do CPR.
I would like them to start compressions.
I would like them to expose my chest so they can attach a defibrillator.
And if they need to move my b**b out of the way to put the defibrillator pad in the right place, I hope they do that too.
Why am I telling you this?
Women experiencing cardiac arrest are less likely to receive lifesaving treatment from bystanders.
They are less likely to receive bystander CPR, even in their own homes.
They are also significantly less likely to receive defibrillation from a bystander.
The team at Nifat have launched the ‘They’re Bo***es, Not Barriers’ campaign to help close the gap. They have put together some fantastic resources for individuals and trainers. If you’d like to know more about how you can help to close the gap comment BO***ES below and I’ll send you the link.
