What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating characteristics related to patients, settings, callers, and dispatchers involved in drowning-related emergency calls to the Emergency Medical Dispatch Centre. The study aims to understand factors influencing survival 30 days after drowning incidents, analyzing both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases and non-OHCA drowning cases separately. The study also plans to assess potential barriers to optimal emergency response by qualitatively reviewing the emergency calls if possible. This research is a registry-based cohort study using data from the Danish Prehospital Drowning Data linked with audio and electronic records from emergency calls. The data collection is conducted in phases: starting with reviewing sample calls to identify important variables, followed by testing and refining data collection methods, and finally collecting comprehensive data on all drowning-related emergency calls. Emergency calls are categorized as either OHCA or non-OHCA for analysis. Participants' involvement includes their data being collected and analyzed from emergency call records and registries, with follow-up to determine survival status 30 days after the drowning event. The study measures characteristics related to patients, settings, callers, and dispatchers that may influence survival outcomes. The study spans from initial call review through data collection and follow-up, aiming to better understand drowning emergency responses and outcomes.
