| Abstrakt: | Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving skill that can be employed when people experience cardiac arrest. While the benefits of CPR on survival are well known, much of the American population remains uneducated on how to perform it. There are many reasons for this, ranging from the cost of CPR courses to fear of making mistakes in emergency situations. There have been a variety of efforts across the United States that attempted to boost CPR education, one of which is education in schools. While not a federal law, many states now require some degree of CPR education to be provided to high school students. New York joined this coalition of states in September of 2014. Signed into law by then Governor Cuomo, Act 804-C helped pave the way for CPR education across many pupils in the state. While undoubtedly a step in the right direction, many elements of 804-C promote a disjointed, unequal, and sometimes insufficient CPR education across different schools and counties in the state. In this review, we will highlight some shortcomings of 804-C. We will also highlight ways in which New York State can improve upon their CPR education efforts while also acknowledging logistical and financial obstacles that our proposals might incur.
