Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring in southern Ontario health care clinics: bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator use.
OBJECTIVE To determine the proportion of public-location out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) that occur in health care clinics and to describe bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use during these episodes. DESIGN Our study was a retrospective cohort study of 679 nontraumatic OHCAs recorded in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium Epistr...

متن کاملUnmanned aerial vehicles (drones) in out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest
BACKGROUND The use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) prior to EMS arrival can increase 30-day survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) significantly. Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) can fly with high velocity and potentially transport devices such as AEDs to the site of OHCAs. The aim of this explorative study was to investigate the feasibility of a drone system in ...
متن کاملResuscitation Science Impact of Onsite or Dispatched Automated External Defibrillator Use on Survival After Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Background—There have been few studies on the effectiveness of bystander automated external defibrillator (AED) use in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The objective of this study was to determine whether actual use of onsite or dispatched AED reduces the time to first shock compared with no AED use and thereby improves survival. Methods and Results—We performed a population-based cohort study o...
متن کاملUse of automated external defibrillator by first responders in out of hospital cardiac arrest: prospective controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the use of an automated external defibrillator by police and fire fighters results in higher discharge rates for out of hospital cardiac arrest. DESIGN Controlled clinical trial with initial random allocation of automated external defibrillators to first responders in four of the eight participating regions; each region switched from control to experiment...
