Formula 1 teams obsess over data to shave milliseconds off lap times. 🚥🏁 Ambulance Victoria takes the same approach to cardiac arrest survival—their latest report shows a record 41% survival rate, making Victoria the 3rd safest place in the world for OHCA.

I agree Caroline. In their most recent 2022-23 Registry report, we see uplift in the Utstein comparator group to 36% which is heading in the right direction. They have also published an improvement strategy where they have set a goal of 30% improvement in survival to hospital discharge by 2028

This is what happens when you take a whole of organisation approach to improving cardiac arrest outcomes. Kudos to the team at Ambulance Victoria, in particular all the responders and researchers out there every day making this a reality
