About this trial

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

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

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.

Trial population

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

Design model

Cohort

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

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

    Other intervention

    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.

No treatment groups listed

Trial outcomes

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

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

Secondary outcomes

1

Identify language that highlights cardiac arrest

Collection of the initial reason for appeal and everything said by the witness that may point to cardiac arrest

Time frame
At the end of the study, an average of 5 month
2

Identify language that increases the time to detect cardiac arrest

Collection of everything said by the witness increasing the detection of the cardiac arrest

Time frame
At the end of the study, an average of 5 month
3

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

Collection of time (seconds) between : * the MRA taking the call and requesting an AED search * the MRA taking the call and the start of external cardiac massage

Time frame
At the end of the study, an average of 5 month
4

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

Collection of call tone (witness anxiety level) and MRA experience in years

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