Mode of transportation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients, the role of community actions and interventions

Martin E Musi et al. Resuscitation. 2022 Apr.

Abstract

The Emergency Medical Services constitutes a critical component in treating patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Activating the EMS system is the first important step in deploying resources, but community involvement in the care of emergent patients is multifaceted and complex. How does the public access EMS services versus other modes of transport remains under investigated; and if the public opts for a different mode of transport to the hospital, how does this affect outcomes?
