研究概览
简要总结
The overall goal of this project is to design, develop, and pilot test an emergency healthcare drone delivery system suitable for rural communities that can deliver AEDs to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) locations more rapidly than can be achieved with current first responder and EMS systems. The goal is to determine whether this method of AED delivery can be achieved rapidly enough to justify a future clinical trial directly testing its ability to improve OHCA survival.
详细描述
To achieve the project goal, 3 specific aims will be addressed. The details in this ClinicalTrials.gov record are specific to Aim 3.
Aim 1:
Define options for emergency healthcare drone station configurations best suited for rural communities and use these findings to help design future drone AED delivery programs in rural communities.
Sub aim 1a:
Define and examine EMS agency treatment, performance, and outcomes of OCHA in rural versus urban regions across the US. This will be done by using CARES Registry data from all OHCA treated by emergency medical professionals from participating EMS agencies in the US between 2021-2022.
