911 Dispatcher Assistance Improved Chances of Receiving Bystander CPR

Preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association’s Resuscitation Science Symposium 2024 suggests that 911 dispatcher assistance could improve the chances of receiving bystander CPR during a cardiac arrest. The findings highlight the critical role of the telecommunicator in reducing sex disparities in receiving CPR and the importance of the first link in the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest chain of survival.

This news matters because it highlights the potential impact of telecommunicator assistance in improving the chances of receiving bystander CPR during a cardiac arrest. The findings suggest that the role of the telecommunicator is critical in reducing known sex disparities in receiving CPR and could lead to more advocacy to support community emergency response.
