Summary

Time to defibrillation is the most important predictor of survival in cardiac arrest. Traditional emergency medical system response is often to slow. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of drone systems that delivers Automated External Defibrillators (AED) to the scene of suspected Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA).

This study will test the feasibility of real-life flights with drones carrying automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) as a complement to standard care i.e EMS

Conditions

  • Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Interventions

DEVICE

Automated flying Drone carrying an Automated external defibrillator (AED)

Totally n=3 drones are equipped with automated external defibrillators (AEDs). These drones are deployed by the dispatch centre to cases of suspected out-of-hospital cardiac (OHCA) as a complement to standard care (ambulance/EMS) over 4 months during daytime Monday to Sunday 08:00-22:00. The bystander onsite receives instructions from the dispatcher to retrieve the AED outside the house when it has been delivered by the drone. The bystander attaches the AED to the patients chest to facilitate early defibrillation.
