Abstract :
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public health challenge with significant mortality and morbidity. Ambulance-based interventions play a critical role in improving survival and neurological outcomes in OHCA cases. This review evaluates the effectiveness of various prehospital strategies, including early defibrillation, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), advanced airway management, and pharmacological interventions. Key findings highlight the importance of rapid response times, training, and technology integration in optimizing outcomes. Recommendations for enhancing ambulance-based care and addressing existing challenges are discussed.
Keywords: Prehospital cardiac arrest, ambulance interventions, CPR, defibrillation, airway management, emergency medical services, OHCA outcomes.
