Utah medical statistics

When getting one’s BLS, ACLS or PALS certification, Utah health statistics should be taken into consideration. Medical professionals who reside in Utah should read on to see how Utah compares to the rest of the region (and nation) in unique health indicators that relate to ACLS, BLS and PALS.

How is Utah unique?

When equipped with a BLS certification, Utah medical professionals, including emergency responders, are able to handle a number of health situations. Utah definitely tops the charts in a few categories, but is low in the charts in others. One of those categories is smoking. Utah boasts the lowest rate of adult smokers in the Western Region at nine point one percent (9.1%). Compared to states like Alaska (20.40%) and Nevada (21.3%), Utah does extremely well. In fact, Utah is the national leader in this category. Utah also has an extremely low rate of heart attacks in the West at two point eight percent (2.8%). Alaska is the only state that bests Utah in this category. It is still important to obtain and maintain one’s ACLS certification. Utah residents, despite the low rates of heart attacks and smoking, still require skilled medical professionals to see to their emergency medical needs.
