Study Summary

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether use of the PulsePoint system increases bystander CPR or defibrillator use compared to standard dispatch procedures in patients who suffer non-traumatic, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in a public location. Half of all suspected cardiac arrest 9-1-1 calls in a public location will receive PulsePoint alerts (treatment arm). The other half of this eligible patient cohort will receive standard dispatch procedures (control arm).

Primary Outcome

Defined as the occurrence of either bystander CPR (chest compressions and or ventilations) or bystander application of a defibrillator prior to the arrival of emergency medical services.
