Encouraging individuals to seek training in the use of 
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated ex-
ternal defibrillators (AEDs), and for other purposes. 
Whereas heart disease affects men, women, and children of 
every age and race in the United States, and it continues 
to be the leading cause of death in America; 
Whereas approximately 295,000 emergency medical services- 
treated out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually na-
tionwide; 
Whereas only 8 percent of individuals who suffer a sudden 
cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting survive; 
Whereas sudden cardiac arrest results from an abnormal 
heart rhythm in most adults, often ventricular fibrilla-
tion;

•HRES 457 IH 
Whereas, unfortunately, only 31 percent of out-of-hospital 
cardiac arrest victims receive bystander cardiopulmonary 
resuscitation (CPR); 
Whereas individuals can die of sudden cardiac arrest within 
minutes, and rapid response to sudden cardiac arrest 
with both CPR and an automated external defibrillator 
(AED) are critical in helping a victim survive; 
Whereas prompt delivery of CPR more than doubles the vic-
tim’s chance of survival by helping to maintain vital 
blood flow to the heart and brain, increasing the amount 
of time in which an electric shock from a defibrillator 
may be effective; 
Whereas, moreover, an AED, even when used by a bystander, 
is safe, easy to operate, and, if used immediately after 
the onset of sudden cardiac arrest, highly effective in ter-
minating ventricular fibrillation so the heart can resume 
a normal, effective rhythm; 
Whereas for every minute without bystander CPR, survival 
from witnessed cardiac arrest decreases 7 to 10 percent; 
and 
Whereas the interval between the 911 telephone call and the 
arrival of emergency medical services personnel is usually 
longer than 5 minutes; therefore, a cardiac arrest victim’s 
survival is likely to depend on a public trained in CPR 
and AED use and access to these lifesaving measures: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) encourages individuals to seek training in 
the use of CPR and AEDs; and
