The researchers sought to find a reason for the gender gap.
One theory was that bystanders in public could be uncomfortable touching a women’s breast without consent, Cournoyer said.But it did not — women were less likely to receive CPR than men from a bystander regardless of their age, the data showed.
Cournoyer said another possibility was a “barrier of recognition” for women having a cardiac arrest, which is often represented as something that happens only to men.Before a cardiac arrest, men are more likely to have chest pain — a commonly depicted symptom in media — while women are more likely to experience shortness of breath, according to a study published last month in Lancet Digital Health.
Cournoyer said further research was required to shed light on the gap between men and women, in particular involving data on the gender of those performing CPR. The research, which the team plans to publish in a peer-reviewed journal, will be presented at the European Emergency Medicine Congress 2023 in Barcelona.Get all the latest news in your inbox.
