1-1-2 emergency calls for drowning incidents

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a registry-based cohort analysis linking the national Danish Prehospital Drowning Data with recorded 1-1-2 emergency call audio and dispatcher electronic records. Investigators will separate drowning-related out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) from non-OHCA events and create variable lists for each. Trained reviewers will listen to calls to extract symptoms, communication barriers, and other call-related factors, and these will be analyzed alongside patient and outcome data with 30-day follow-up. If feasible, a qualitative analysis of calls will identify barriers to optimal dispatch handling of drowning incidents.
