在新西兰, 医院外心脏病停顿的低生存率突显出迫切需要更广泛的心肺复苏培训和公平的除器接入. In New Zealand, low survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests highlight urgent need for wider CPR training and equitable defibrillator access.

在新西兰,2024年7月至2025年6月之间发生了2 466起医院外心脏病逮捕事件,只有25%的人幸存到医院,只有6%的人在紧急服务抵达之前就接受了除颤。 In New Zealand, 2,466 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurred between July 2024 and June 2025, with only 25% surviving to hospital arrival and just 6% receiving defibrillation before emergency services arrived. 毛利人和太平洋岛屿人面临较高的发病率和早发率,而妇女的生存机率较低,获得公共减颤的机会较少。 Māori and Pacific peoples face higher rates and earlier onset, while women have lower survival odds and less access to public defibrillation. 大多数逮捕发生在家中,尽管81%的目击案件得到旁观者CPR,但获得自动外部除颤器的机会仍然有限。 Most arrests happen at home, and although 81% of witnessed cases receive bystander CPR, access to automated external defibrillators remains limited. Hato Hone St John和惠灵顿自由救护车强调,早期心肺复苏和除颤不止是双重生存机会,敦促通过“生命的3步”和GoodSAM App等免费方案进行普遍培训,并呼吁公平部署AED, 特别是在农村和高度贫困地区。 Hato Hone St John and Wellington Free Ambulance stress that early CPR and defibrillation more than double survival chances, urging universal training through free programs like “3 Steps for Life” and the GoodSAM app, and calling for equitable AED deployment, especially in rural and high-deprivation areas.
