Features of Emergency Medical System calls that facilitate or inhibit Emergency Medical Dispatcher recognition that a patient is in, or at imminent risk of, cardiac arrest: A systematic mixed studies review

Aim: To identify and appraise evidence relating to the features of an Emergency Medicine System call interaction that enable, or inhibit, an Emergency Medical Dispatcher’s recognition that a patient is in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, or at imminent risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods:...

Methods: All study designs were eligible for inclusion. Data sources included Medline, BNI, CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, AMED and OpenGrey. Stakeholder resources were screened and experts in resuscitation were asked to review the studies identified. Studies were appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Synthesis was completed using a segregated mixed research synthesis approach. Results: Thirty-two studies were included in the review. Three main themes were identified: Key features of the Emergency Medical Service call interaction; Managing the Emergency Medical Service call; Emotional distress. Conclusion: A dominant finding is the difficulty in recognising abnormal/agonal breathing during the Emergency Medical Service call. The interaction between the caller and the Emergency Medical Dispatcher is critical in the recognition of patients who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Emergency Medical Dispatchers adapt their approach to the Emergency Medical Service call, and regular training for Emergency Medical Dispatchers is recommended to optimise out-of-hospital cardiac arrest recognition.
