Oklahoma

Oklahoma promotes cardiac emergency preparedness. It requires CPR programs to register life-saving devices. This way, these devices can be quickly found when needed. Knowing where these devices are boosts availability and speeds up response times in communities. The state has a Good Samaritan law. This law protects people who give CPR in emergencies from most legal trouble. This protection only covers reasonable emergency help. It doesn’t include actions beyond immediate care. To boost public safety, schools must have CPR equipment on hand. This way, staff and students can be ready to act in a medical emergency.
