What this Trial Is About
Cardiac arrest is a serious condition with about 40,000 adult cases annually in France, leading to high mortality and neurological issues among survivors. Quick response is vital, as survival rates improve with faster initiation of external cardiac massage (ECM). This research is focused on assessing how quickly Medical Regulation Assistants (MRAs) recognize cardiac arrest during emergency calls at EMS 95, and identifying factors that affect this timing. The study is a prospective evaluation conducted within EMS 95, measuring the time in seconds from when a call is taken to when the MRA identifies a cardiac arrest. It aims to see if the optimal recognition time of 90 seconds is met. Researchers will analyze language cues used in calls that either help or delay recognition and examine the initiation of procedures by MRAs. Participants' calls resulting in cardiac arrest detection will be reviewed, including an assessment of MRAs' current knowledge and experience. The main outcome measured is the elapsed time between call handling and cardiac arrest recognition. The study will last about five months, focusing on improving emergency response and patient survival chances.
