Enhancing Dispatch Systems for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Proposal for Improved Survival Outcomes
Journal Title: The Journal of Medicine, Law & Public Health (JMLPH) - Year 2023, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Early and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is critical for survival and neurological recovery in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This commentary proposes a novel approach involving the use of a CPR instructional video tailored for laypersons. It also recommends a three-phase approach for the implementation of this strategy, including a trial period, agreements with telecom and dispatch system providers, and a public health campaign to raiseawareness and improve compliance with instructions. This proposal aims to enhance the dispatch process for OHCA, ultimately improving survival rates and neurological outcomes.
