Abstract :

Cardiac arrest represents a critical medical emergency that necessitates immediate and effective intervention to improve survival outcomes. This literature review explores the existing protocols for managing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in prehospital settings, highlighting the significant variability in practices across different regions and emergency medical services (EMS) systems. The review emphasizes the importance of early recognition and intervention, specifically the roles of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, which are crucial for enhancing survival rates. Key findings indicate that survival rates decrease by 7-10% for each minute without defibrillation, underscoring the urgency of prompt action. Various studies reveal disparities in protocol adherence, with bystander CPR rates varying dramatically based on public education and cultural attitudes. Additionally, the review discusses the effectiveness of advanced life support techniques, including airway management and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Emerging technologies, such as mobile dispatch systems, are highlighted as promising tools for increasing bystander intervention rates. The findings underscore the need for standardized guidelines, enhanced public education initiatives, and ongoing research to refine cardiac arrest management strategies in prehospital settings, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes and survival rates.
Keywords: Cardiac arrest, prehospital care, bystander CPR, survival rates, emergency medical services.
