Brief Summary

Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a complex, nonvisual procedure that is challenging for the dispatcher. The aim was to explore the medical dispatchers' perception of bystanders' responses and dispatchers' reflections about the added value of visual information in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) situations.

Conditions

Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Keywords

Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Out-Of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest; Emergency Medical dispatcher

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The added value of visual information to the medical dispatcher in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) situations.

  We applied a qualitative research methodology using thematic analysis with an explorative and inductive approach. The first author followed Braun and Clarke's six-step analytical approach, which has the following steps: familiarising with data, generating initial codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming themes, and producing the report. Codes and themes were organised using Nvivo10 software (QSR International Pty Ltd, Australia). Analysis continued until saturation; that is, when information became redundant.

  One hour interview with earch of the emergency medical dispathers

Interventions
