New State Law Recognizes Impact of Effective Telecommunicator CPR
Ensuring your community is giving people the best chance to survive cardiac arrest starts with the 911 call. When your public safety telecommunicators quickly identify cardiac arrest and deliver fast and precise CPR instruction to bystanders over the phone, lives will be saved.
In 2021, Texas recognized the life-saving value of Telecommunicator CPR and enacted a law requiring T-CPR training for all emergency telecommunicators.1 Why? Because we know that immediate, high-quality CPR can be the difference between life and death—the science proves it. In communities with higher rates of bystander CPR, more cardiac arrest victims survive.

The Need Is Real in Texas
More than 350,000 people experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the U.S. each year—and only 10.8% of those victims leave the hospital alive. In Texas, that might be even lower: The Texas-CARES Program estimates that of the 22,000 cardiac arrests each year across the state, as few as 5% survive.2
