Dispatcher-Assisted Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation — Influence on Return of Spontaneous Circulation and Short-Term Survival
The Aim: analysis of the influence of dispatcher assistance during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), better survival at the scene, survival to discharge, and 30-day survival.Materials and...

| description | The Aim: analysis of the influence of dispatcher assistance during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), better survival at the scene, survival to discharge, and 30-day survival.Materials and methods. This study includes epidemiological data on OHCA collected by the study protocol of the European Resuscitation Council's EuReCa_ONE study during the period October 1, 2014 — December 31, 2019. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics v26 and GraphPad Prism v8 software packages.Results. This study included 288 patients with OHCA where CPR was provided by bystander. Dispatcher-assisted CPR (DA-CPR) occurred in 56.9% of those patients and ROSC was achieved in 31.3% of cases. Forty-four patients were hospitalized and 16 of those survived until discharge. There was no influence of dispatcher assistance on ROSC, although it resulted in slightly greater risk of the absence of ROSC (OR=1.063). Higher mortality rate to discharge occurred in DA-CPR group (P=0.013). No statistical significance was observed between DA-CPR and non-DA-CPR groups in terms of death at the scene, and 30-day survival. Dispatcher assistance during the initial CPR in hospitalized OHCA patients was a significant predictor of death outcome during hospitalization (P=0.017, OR=5.500).Conclusions. There is no significant association between the presence/absence of dispatcher assistance and ROSC or 30-day survival rate. In contrast, DA-CPR was non-significantly associated with slightly higher odds for the absence of ROSC. DA-CPR was also associated with lower survival-to-discharge rates in hospitalized OHCA patients. The study findings are the base/ground which highlights the need of implementation of existing and development of new guidelines regarding high-quality professional training of EMS dispatchers as well as basic life support education of general population. |
