Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of defibrillators (including automated external defibrillators) and timely treatment by emergency medical services are known to increase the chances of survival for a patient experiencing an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA); however, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this is unclear from examining previous literature. This commentary critically appraises a recent systematic review and meta-analysis which assesses the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on pre-hospital care for OHCA.
众所周知,早期旁观者心肺复苏、使用除颤器(包括自动体外除颤器)以及紧急医疗服务的及时治疗可增加院外心脏骤停(OHCA)患者的存活几率;然而,从以往文献研究来看,2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行对此的影响尚不清楚。本评论对最近一项系统评价和荟萃分析进行了批判性评估,该分析评估了COVID-19大流行对OHCA院前护理的影响。
