Abstract Importance: The lack of evidence-based implementation strategies is a major contributor to increasing mortality due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in developing countries with
Abstract Background: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are critical in the chain of survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), yet few studies have reported on AED
Abstract Background: Rapid public defibrillation with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) is critical to improving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival. Concerns about AED theft and vandalism have
Abstract Background: Recently, health care and disease prevention are more and more important in people’s daily life. Human body communication (HBC) is an emerging short distance
Abstract Aim: To examine incidence and outcome following out-of-hospital cardiac (OHCA) arrest in a high-risk area characterised by high density of potential bystanders and easy access
Abstract Aims: Singapore is highly-urbanized, with >90% of the population living in high-rise apartments. She has implemented several city-wide interventions such as dispatcher-assisted CPR, community CPR
Abstract Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) during sports can be the first symptom of yet undetected cardiovascular conditions. Immediate chest compressions and early defibrillation offer SCA
Abstract Sudden cardiac death (SCD) constitutes a major clinical and public health problem, whose death burden is comparable to the current worldwide pandemic. This comprehensive
Abstract Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) occurs in 0.4% of the general population and up to 6% or more of at-risk groups each year. Early CPR
Abstract Aims: Globally, nearly 20% of cardiovascular disease deaths were attributable to air pollution. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) represents a major public health problem; therefore,
Abstract Introduction: Cardiac arrest (CA) is the third leading cause of death, with persistently low survival rates despite medical advancements. This article evaluates the potential
Abstract Background: For out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in residential areas, a dispatcher driven alert-system using text messages (TM-system) directing local rescuers (TM-responders) to OHCA patients
