Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Cardiac Arrest Sur-
vival Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) Each year more than 250,000 adults suffer
cardiac arrest, usually away from a hospital. More
than 95 percent of them will die, in many cases be-
cause 
cardiopulmonary 
resuscitation 
(‘‘CPR’’),
defibrillation, and advanced life support are provided
too late to reverse the cardiac arrest. These cardiac
arrests occur primarily from occult underlying heart
disease and from drowning, allergic or sensitivity re-
actions, or electrical shocks.
(2) Every minute that passes before returning
the heart to a normal rhythm after a cardiac arrest
causes the chance of survival to fall by 10 percent.
(3) In communities where strong public access
to defibrillation programs have been implemented,
survival from cardiac arrest has improved by as
much as 20 percent.
(4) Survival from cardiac arrest requires suc-
cessful early implementation of a chain of events,
known as the chain of survival, which must be initi-
ated as soon as the person sustains a cardiac arrest
and must continue until the person arrives at the
hospital.
(5) The chain of survival is the medical stand-
ard of care for treatment of cardiac arrest.
(6) A successful chain of survival requires the
first person on the scene to take rapid and simple
initial steps to care for the patient and to assure
that the patient promptly enters the emergency med-
ical services system. These steps include—
(A) recognizing an emergency and acti-
vating the emergency medical services system;
(B) beginning CPR; and
(C) 
using 
an 
automated 
external
defibrillator (‘‘AED’’) if one is available at the
scene.
(7) The first persons at the scene of an arrest
are typically lay persons who are friends or family
of the victim, fire services, public safety personnel,
basic life support emergency medical services pro-
viders, teachers, coaches and supervisors of sports or
other extracurricular activities, providers of day
care, school bus drivers, lifeguards, attendants at
public gatherings, coworkers, and other leaders with-
in the community.
(8) The Federal Government should facilitate
programs for the placement of AEDs in public build-
ings, including provisions regarding the training of
personnel in CPR and AED use, integration with
the emergency medical services system, and mainte-
nance of the devices.
SEC. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS OF SECRETARY OF HEALTH

MENT 
OF 
AUTOMATIC 
EXTERNAL
DEFIBRILLATORS IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS.
Part B of title II of the Public Health Service Act
