Great to see the survival rate from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Ireland has increased. A big thank you to all the volunteers and CFR group members around the country who helped make it happen. See the full 2022 OHCAR annual report here: scanner.topsec.com/?d=2120&r…

OHCAR has provided over a decade of data on regional cardiac arrest incidence and outcomes. Perhaps the most impressive achievement of @PHECC @cathal1972 @CFRIreland &@NAS is the 84% rate of bystander CPR being achieved in out of hospital cardiac arrests in Ireland. Phenomenal!
