With each successive update of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines, the role of dispatchers in sudden cardiac arrest (CA) has grown. Dispatchers instruct callers in how to perform CPR until the arrival of emergency medical service (EMS) professionals. This is widely known as telephone CPR (TCPR) or dispatch-assisted CPR (DACPR). Studies have shown the efficacy of TCPR in increasing the survival rate of sudden CA. The TCPR process, however, is challenging and needs to be constantly evaluated and refined in order to improve the survival rate of sudden CA victims throughout the world. In this review article, the current status, challenges, and future perspectives of TCPR are discussed with a view to providing a research foundation from which to launch further studies into the effective role of dispatchers in sudden CA.
随着心肺复苏(CPR)指南的一次次更新,调度员在心脏骤停(CA)中的作用不断增强。调度员指导来电者如何进行心肺复苏,直到紧急医疗服务(EMS)专业人员赶到。这被广泛称为电话心肺复苏(TCPR)或调度辅助心肺复苏(DACPR)。研究表明,电话心肺复苏在提高心脏骤停患者存活率方面具有有效性。然而,电话心肺复苏过程具有挑战性,需要不断评估和完善,以提高全球心脏骤停患者的存活率。在这篇综述文章中,我们讨论了电话心肺复苏的现状、挑战和未来展望,以期为进一步研究调度员在心脏骤停中的有效作用提供研究基础。
