Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the average time taken by the Medical Regulation Assistants (MRA) to detect a cardiac arrest during the call to the EMS as well as the factors influencing this delay. Its main objective is to evaluate the delay, in seconds, between the call being picked up and the recognition of a cardiac arrest by the medical regulation assistant at the EMS 95

Conditions

Cardiac Arrest

Keywords

cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA); Medical Regulation Assistant (MRA); EMS; External Cardiac Massage; External Automated Defibrillator; 90 seconds

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation, of the time elapsed (seconds) between the taking in charge of the call and the recognition of a cardiac arrest by the medical regulation assistant (ARM) of the EMS 95.

  Measure of the time in seconds between picking up the phone and the recognition of the cardiac arrest by the medical regulation assistant

  At the end of the study, an average of 5 month

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Identify language that highlights cardiac arrest

  At the end of the study, an average of 5 month

• Identify language that increases the time to detect cardiac arrest

  At the end of the study, an average of 5 month

• Evaluation of the time required for the MRA to initiate a procedure (AED search: External Automated Defibrillator or initiation of external cardiac massage assistance)

  At the end of the study, an average of 5 month

• Identification of factors that may influence the time to recognition of cardiac arrest (MRA experience, tone of the call)

  At the end of the study, an average of 5 month

Interventions

Time elapsed between the taking in charge of the call and the recognition of a cardiac arrest by the MRA OTHER

Prospective study within the EMS 95, to evaluate if the maximum delay of 90 seconds between the call to the EMS and the recognition of the cardiac arrest is reached.

Eligibility Criteria

Study Population

Medical regulation assistant taking a call from a witness of a cardiac arrest between 01/01/2024 and 30t/04/2024

You may qualify if:

• \- Any call resulting in the detection of a cardiac arrest during ARM regulation: calls to 15 and calls transmitted by 18

You may not qualify if:

• Traumatic context
• Call involving cardiac arrest already identified as such by the caller or 18
• Call with criteria of proven death
• The caller does not speak French, the linguistic elements noted are not usable.
