Referral of Callers to Retrieve Drone-delivered AEDs in Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest

Time to defibrillation is the most important predictor of survival in cardiac arrest. Recent studies have shown that unmanned drones can deliver AEDs to the site of real life out-of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) before ambulance arrival. Although an AED is available in the close vicinity, they are seldom used. The overall aim of this study is to provide an interventional bundle directed towards the dispatch centre and evaluate referral of callers to retrieve drone-delivered AEDs so that they may be attached in cases out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
