Effectiveness of Dispatch-Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Instructions: An Evaluation of 9-1-1 Calls.
In Brief
An observational study for Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 2,260 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall goal of this study is to better understand the factors leading to successful dispatch-assisted CPR instructions and to ultimately save the lives of more cardiac arrest patients. Specific objectives are to: 1) Determine the ability of 9-1-1 dispatchers to make the diagnosis of cardiac arrest over the phone; 2) Quantify the frequency and impact of perceived agonal breathing on cardiac arrest diagnosis; 3) Measure the frequency with which dispatch-assisted CPR instructions can be successfully completed in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases; and 4) Measure the impact of dispatch-assisted CPR instructions on bystander CPR and survival rates for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
