Introduction: This study examines the effect of paramedic deployment strategy on witnessed ventricular fibrillation (VF) cardiac arrest outcomes. Our null hypothesis was that there is no difference in survival between an EMS system using targeted response (TR) and one using a uniform or all advanced life support (ALS) response (UR) model. We define targeted response as a system where paramedics are...
Successful outcome following cardiac arrest have been reported in the range of 13-59%. It is well established that the time from the onset of a ventricular arrhythmia to successful defibrillation predicts outcome. Recent out of hospital arrest protocols minimizing time to defibrillation have reported significant improvement in outcomes. The Bethesda conference and American Heart Association (AHA)...
