The 2025 AHA Guidelines: Gender Inclusion is Now the Standard
We are excited to announce the second episode of our multi-part webinar series, where we will dive deep into the 2025 AHA Guideline updates. This episode examines how modern CPR training is evolving to improve outcomes across all patient populations—a shift that prioritizes more realistic training scenarios to ensure responders are prepared to save every patient, regardless of gender.
Did you know that women are significantly less likely to receive bystander CPR in public than men?
Current data shows a sobering reality: because of bystander hesitation, fear of "inappropriate touch," or a simple lack of experience with female anatomy, women face a higher risk of death during sudden cardiac arrest. We believe that training should reflect reality. If we only ever train on flat-chested manikins, we aren’t fully preparing our students for the real world.
