Most States, including Kansas, have some form of Good Samaritan Laws. In Kansas, you must identify yourself, advise the person of your training, GET PERMISSION (unconcious victims give implied consent) to assist the victim, and stay within the scope of your trainig to be covered. You must also be certified through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross to be protected from liability if you need to perform CPR on a victim. Following is an example of the Kansas version of the Good Samaritan Law. Kansas Good Samaritan Act Note: KS has a general immunity law, as well as one specifically pertaining to manual cardiac defibrillation. Both are quoted below.
