Each day, approximately 750 Europeans suffer from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which presents a large public health problem. In such circumstances, rapid activation of the Chain of Survival with effective and continuous realisation of its four links can have a large impact on survival. Mobile phones, which have become the most ubiquitous piece of modern technology, possess a strong potential to strengthen each link of the chain. Initially, they can be used to educate rescuers about appropriate actions performed in each step of the resuscitation process. However, mobile phones can also assume a more active role of helping the rescuer in a real medical emergency. They have a potential to allow for a faster and superior emergency medical services contact, assure a higher quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and quicker retrieval of an automated external defibrillator and facilitate a finer post-resuscitation care through telemedical and clinical decision support systems. Smartphones, mobile phones with advanced computing abilities and connectivity, should be considered as medical devices, and their use, among lay rescuers and medical professionals in cardiovascular emergencies, further investigated and strongly encouraged.
每天，约有 750 名欧洲人遭遇院外心脏骤停，这是一个严重的公共卫生问题。在这种情况下，快速启动生存链并有效地持续实现其四个环节，对提高生存率具有重要影响。手机已成为最普及的现代科技产品，具有增强生存链各个环节的巨大潜力。最初，手机可以用于教育救援人员在复苏过程的每个步骤中应采取的适当措施。然而，手机还可以在真正的医疗紧急情况下发挥更积极的作用，帮助救援人员。手机有可能实现更快、更优质的紧急医疗服务联系，确保更高质量的心肺复苏（CPR），更快地获取自动体外除颤器，并通过远程医疗和临床决策支持系统实现更精细的复苏后护理。具有先进计算能力和连接功能的智能手机应被视为医疗器械，应进一步研究并强烈鼓励在心血管紧急情况下，非专业救援人员和医疗专业人员使用。
