Problem definition: Our objective is to design a defibrillator-enabled drone network that
augments the existing emergency medical services (EMS) system to rapidly respond to out …

Emergency medical service (EMS) systems aim to respond to emergency calls and provide
life-saving care to patients. The location of EMS resources is critical to providing this care in …

Background Advances in vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technologies may enable
drone-like crewed air ambulances to rapidly respond to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest …

Background Access time to emergency patients is a critical factor that affects the outcomes of
life-or-death situations, especially in the cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) …

Background Cardiac arrest guidelines recommend epinephrine every 3–5 minutes during
cardiac arrest resuscitation. However, it is unclear if multiple epinephrine doses are …

Aims The time-dependent prognostic role of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients has not been described with great …

Abstract Introduction The Australasian Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (Aus-ROC) out-
of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) Epistry (Epidemiological Registry) now covers 100% of …

Aim To identify whether the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic affects the
operational efficiency of emergency medical services (EMS) and the survival rate of out‐of …

Introduction For out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs), time is of the essence. While the
relationship between EMS response time (ERT) and OHCA outcomes is well studied, a more …

Background: A single dose epinephrine protocol (SDEP) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
(OHCA) achieves similar survival to hospital discharge (SHD) rates as a multidose …
