Take Heart Florida (THFL) is a systems-based approach to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) resuscitation that includes sequential implementation of the most highly recommended aspects of the 2010 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines to more than double neurologically-intact survival hospital discharge for all patients with an out-of-hospital SCA. Take Heart Florida is a chapter of Take Heart America (THA).THA is one of the first programs to take a community-based, multi-faceted approach to saving patients of SCA by combining multiple resuscitation interventions with a public health education campaign. THFL is a collaborative effort including the lay public, local businesses, health departments, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) medical directors, EMS personnel, hospital and ambulance associations, regulatory boards, hospital personnel and associations, SCA associations, AHA, device manufacturers and others. Goal THFL's primary goal is to improve the overall survival rate from out-of-hospital SCA from <5% to >20%. This is being accomplished by harnessing the synergy from simultaneous deployment of techniques proven to increase survival from SCA.
