OBJECTIVE
To understand the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on emergency medical services (EMSs) utilisation and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes in Singapore.
METHODS
This was a retrospective observational study comparing data collected by the Singapore Civil Defence Force on EMS utilisation in Singapore from 1 April to 31 May 2020 to previous figures.
RESULTS
Overall, EMS call volume and total out-of-hospital cardiac arrests remained comparable to past years. There was an appreciable decline in prehospital return of spontaneous circulation rates, albeit not statistically lower than pre-COVID periods (P = 0.078).
CONCLUSION
The findings contribute to a growing body of literature internationally on the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on EMS utilisation and outcomes.
目的
了解 COVID-19 限制措施对新加坡急救医疗服务（EMS）利用和院外心脏骤停结局的影响。
方法
这是一项回顾性观察性研究，比较了新加坡民防部队在 2020 年 4 月 1 日至 5 月 31 日期间收集的新加坡 EMS 使用数据与以往数据。
结果
总体而言，EMS 呼叫量和院外心脏骤停总数与往年相比保持相当。尽管与 COVID 前时期相比没有统计学上的显著降低（P=0.078），但院外自主循环恢复率明显下降。
结论
这些发现为国际上越来越多的关于 COVID-19 大流行对 EMS 使用和结局潜在影响的文献做出了贡献。
