Impact of early cardiac arrest recognition by emergency medical service dispatchers on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a retrospective population-based observational study [PDF]
Background Dispatch-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DACPR) improves out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes. However, there is no established gold standard for DACPR performance. This study aimed to investigate the association between time

Dispatcher Performance and Prehospital Outcomes in Telephone-Assisted Airway Management following Foreign Body Obstruction: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Introduction: Prehospital care plays a crucial role in early recognition and timely management of foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO). This study aimed to identify factors associated with dispatcher performance and prehospital outcomes in the ...

Dispatcher-assisted AED use in single-rescuer cardiac arrest: study protocol for a randomized simulation study comparing standard and optimized dispatcher-assisted CPR instructions [PDF]
Background: Although automated external defibrillators (AEDs) improve outcomes in shockable rhythms, their use introduces interruptions in chest compressions.

Reducing cognitive load in dispatcher-assisted CPR: a simulation-based educational study among non-medical university students [PDF]
Background Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DA-CPR) is critical for improving outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, yet untrained callers often experience high cognitive load that impedes early recognition and action ...

Dispatcher-led triage to reduce futile EMS transport for suspected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Japan: a narrative review and phased implementation framework [PDF]
Dispatcher-led triage for suspected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may help reduce nonbeneficial emergency medical service (EMS) responses and transport by enabling conservative response modification in narrowly defined cases of obvious death (e.g.

First real-world implementation of video-based emergency calls (VEC) in Germany: from vision to reality [PDF]
Emergency call handling relies primarily on verbal information, which is often constrained by stress, language barriers, and limited situational awareness.

Dispatcher referral of bystanders to retrieve drone-delivered automated external defibrillators in cases of suspected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [PDF]
Background: Drone dispatch in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) may shorten time to AED-attachment, however little is known about barriers for dispatchers to refer bystanders to retrieve and attach AEDs after delivery.

Telephone-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a simulated environment: A pilot exploratory study evaluating first responder adherence and dispatcher performance [PDF]
Background: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public health challenge, and telephone-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) is a key strategy to improve survival.

Analysis of the emergency medical service call centre actions in patients with cardiac arrest [PDF]
Background/Aim: Cardiac arrest (CA) is a leading cause of mortality in the last forty years worldwide. Immediately initiated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) improves chances for survival.
