Abstract | Sudden cardiac arrest is a global problem and is considered the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Patient survival rates after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary significantly between countries and continents. In particular, the 2021 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Resuscitation Guidelines place a special focus on the chain of survival of patients after OHCA. As a complex, interconnected approach, the focus is on: Raising awareness for cardiac arrest and lay resuscitation, school children’s education in resuscitation “KIDS SAVE LIVES”, first responder systems – technologies to engage the community, telephone-assisted resuscitation (telephone-CPR; T-CPR) by dispatchers, and cardiac arrest centers (CAC) for further treatment in specialized hospitals. The Systems Saving Lives approach is a comprehensive strategy that emphasizes the interconnectedness of all links in the chain of survival following an OHCA, with a particular focus on the relationship between the community and emergency medical services (EMS). This system-level approach emphasizes the importance of the connection between all those involved in the chain of survival. It has a high potential to improve overall survival after OHCA. Therefore, it is recommended that these strategies be promoted and expanded in all countries. |
