How is North Carolina unique?

Like Virginia, North Carolina is a relatively healthy state when compared to the other states in the Southeast. However, when getting one’s PALS, BLS, or ACLS recertification, North Carolina medical professionals should be aware of certain statistics. The first noticeable statistic is the number of cardiovascular related deaths per 100,000 people. The regional average is 303 deaths and North Carolina comes in at two hundred and seventy-five (275) deaths.

Also, North Carolinians have a very low diabetes rate. At nine point eight percent (9.8%), it ranks second to Virginia in this category. Finally, the children have a relatively low rate of childhood obesity with a rate of thirty-three and a half percent (33.5%). It is still, however, important to keep up with one’s PALS renewal. North Carolina emergency personnel should always be prepared for any emergency courtesy of ACLS Training Center.
