Drones could speed up delivery of defibrillators for cardiac arrest
Original: Cardiac arrest: Drones could speed up delivery of AEDs
Researchers and health services are exploring the use of drones to deliver automated external defibrillators to the scene of cardiac arrests faster than ambulances. In Europe, trials suggest drones can significantly cut response times, which is critical because every minute without defibrillation lowers survival chances.
Why now: New attention on drone-delivered AEDs as a way to improve out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates.
