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

"Totally n=6 drones are equipped with automated external defibrillators (AEDs). These drones are deployed by the dispatch centre to cases of suspected out-of-hospital cardiac (OHCA) as a complement to standard care (ambulance/EMS) over up to 12 months Monday to Sunday 08:00-22:00. The bystander onsite receives instructions from the dispatcher to retrieve the AED outside the house when it has been delivered by the drone. The bystander attaches the AED to the patients chest to facilitate early defibrillation.~An interventional package directed to the dispatchers is distributed and consists of an e-learning program, an AED -trainer placed at the dispatch center. Within the dispatcher decision tool - there is information how to inform the caller to retrieve the AED. The HEMS-coordinator reminds the dispatcher during the call on operational information. Monthly information to staff of project progress is provided."
