Factors impeding dispatcher-assisted telephone cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2003
Dispatcher-assisted telephone cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) instruction can increase the proportion of sudden cardiac arrest victims who receive bystander CPR and has been associated with improved survival. Most sudden cardiac arrest victims, however, do not receive bystander CPR.

A Novel Use of a Metronome in Dispatcher-assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Prehospital Emergency Care, 2014
Abstract Early, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the key to increasing the likelihood of successful resuscitation in cardiac arrest. The use of dispatch-assisted (DA) CPR can increase the likelihood of bystander CPR. We describe a case in which a metronome was introduced to guide DA-CPR. The wife of a 52-year-old male activated 9-1-1

Dispatcher-Assisted Conventional Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Outcomes for Paediatric Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests

Resuscitation, 2022
As asphyxial cardiac arrest is more common than cardiac arrest from a primary cardiac event in paediatric cardiac arrest, effective ventilation is important during paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We aimed to determine optimal dispatcher-assisted CPR instructions for bystanders after paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).We ...

Effect of introduction of a standardized protocol in dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Resuscitation, 2016
The two most commonly used dispatch tools are medical priority dispatch (MPD) and criteria based dispatch (CBD), but there are countries still using non-standardized emergency call processing. We compared selected characteristics of DA-CPR before and after implementation of a standardized protocol in a non-MPD and non-CBD system.Observational study of ...

Defibrillation and the quality of layperson cardiopulmonary resuscitation—Dispatcher assistance or training?

Resuscitation, 2009
To examine whether basic life support-defibrillation (BLS-D) training of laypersons enhances the speed of defibrillation and the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during a simulated ventricular fibrillation scenario compared with a situation where the care provider has no previous BLS-D training but receives dispatcher assistance with the ...

Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation. An evaluation of efficacy amongst elderly

Resuscitation, 2003
Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) increases survival rates. The largest group of cardiac arrest patients are men over the age of 60 in the home, and the most probable potential CPR provider is an older woman who is not likely to have received CPR training.

Stress and distress: the art and science of dispatcher’s assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Internal Medicine Review, 2016
<p>Chances of survival following a cardiac arrest are very low and inversely proportional to the duration of cardiovascular arrest. It is of critical importance to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as soon as possible, even before the arrival of emergency medical team (EMT) on the scene. Therefore, early bystander CPR is a key factor in

Dispatcher-Assisted Bystander Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Survival in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

International Journal of Cardiology, 2018
Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critical to the survival of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, it is unknown whether bystander CPR with or without dispatcher assistance is more effective or why. Thus, we evaluated the association between dispatcher-assisted bystander CPR (vs.

Dispatcher-assisted telephone-guided cardiopulmonary resuscitation: an underused lifesaving system

European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2007
Our purpose with this investigation was to (i) estimate how often telephone-guided cardiopulmonary resuscitation was offered from emergency medical service dispatchers in Stockholm, (ii) study the willingness to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and (iii) assess factors that could mislead the dispatcher in identifying the patient as a cardiac ...

The Impact of Resuscitation Guideline Terminology on Quality of Dispatcher-Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Randomised Controlled Manikin Study [PDF]

Resuscitation, 2019
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines vary in the terminology used to describe target chest compression depth, which may impact CPR quality. We investigated the impact of using different chest compression depth instruction terminologies on CPR quality.We conducted a parallel group, three-arm, randomised controlled manikin trial in which ...
