Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a leading cause of death from which we can save many lives with simple, life-saving therapies like bystander CPR and AED use. The first step is accurately tracking the incidence of OHCA and outcomes in communities, which is what the Texas-CARES Program does for the state of Texas. The next step is implementing interventions to continuously assure everyone (regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, or socioeconomic status) receives high-quality care and has the best odds of survival with a return to their pre-arrest status. The Texas-CARES Data Summary Report provides a visual overview of key demographics and survival characteristics in 2021 for cardiac arrest in Texas.

The Texas-CARES Program uses the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) to measure and report important cardiac arrest epidemiology, treatment parameters, and outcomes. The combination of which produces measurable improvements in the survival of cardiac arrest patients. For more information, please visit TX-CARES.com.
