Evaluating how quickly EMS recognizes cardiac arrest calls

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 observational study aims to assess the average time taken by Medical Regulation Assistants (MRA) to identify a cardiac arrest during emergency calls to the EMS. It focuses on the critical delay between when a call is received and when the cardiac arrest is recognized, as this timing can significantly impact patient survival rates. The study will analyze various factors that may influence this recognition delay, particularly in the context of the EMS 95 in France, where cardiac arrest incidents are prevalent. By understanding these delays, the study seeks to identify potential areas for improvement in emergency response protocols.
