New York

In New York, CPR programs must follow key practices. These include keeping equipment in good shape, training staff, reporting incidents, and ensuring medical supervision. This helps ensure effective emergency response. The state’s Good Samaritan law protects people who use CPR devices in emergencies. Yet, its coverage for other activities is less clear. To improve public safety, we need CPR devices in busy spots. These include schools, health clubs, government buildings, dental offices, and public beaches.
