摘要: Abstract Study objective: To assess outcome in patients with ventricular fibrillation (VF) treated by defibrillator-equipped police and emergency medical technician-paramedics an advanced life support (ALS) services (EMS) system. Methods: We carried out a retrospective observational study of all consecutive adult atraumatic cardiac arrest from November 1990 through July 1995. The was city population 76,865 area 32.6 square miles. Central 911 dispatched ALS ambulance simultaneously. Accurate intervals were obtained the synchronization defibrillator clocks dispatch clock. personnel who arrived first delivered initial shock. After shocks police, paramedics provided additional treatment if needed. Main measures time elapsed before delivery shock, restoration spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to discharge home. Results: Of 84 patients, 31 (37%) shocked police. Thirteen demonstrated ROSC, without need for treatment. All 13 survived discharge. other 18 required ALS; 5 (27.7%) survived. Among 53 paramedics, 15 had ROSC after only, 14 38 needed treatment; 9 Call-to-shock less group than paramedic (5.6 versus 6.3 minutes, P =.038). For call-to-shock those only (5.4 =.011). Survival 49% (41 84), (58%) 23 (43%) group. survivors 5.8 minutes; it 6.4 minutes nonsurvivors ( =.020). Neither nor significantly different between police- paramedic-shocked patients. shock major determinants survival, whether administered or paramedics. With 27 28 (96%) survived, whereas 56 (25%) needing Conclusion: A high discharge-to-home rate early defibrillation both When resulted overwhelming majority (96%). Even brief decreases (eg, 1 minute) increase likelihood consequent decrease intervention. Short response are VF.
