Portable defibrillator use by first responders for cardiac arrest in Singapore
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether community first responders can use a portable defibrillator to help someone having a cardiac arrest before the ambulance arrives. If you volunteer, you would respond to nearby alerts and potentially use the device to restart a person's heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new approach to care for people who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and have been revived by emergency services. The goal is to see if a structured treatment plan can prevent another arrest before reaching the hospital.
This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
This trial tests a new way to send trained community first responders to medical emergencies using the myResponder® app. It aims to see if faster help from nearby volunteers can improve outcomes for people in need.
This trial is studying a new system where trained volunteers respond quickly to help people whose heart stops outside of a hospital in Zug, Switzerland. The goal is to see if this system improves survival and recovery.
This study tests if drones can deliver a defibrillator to people who witness a cardiac arrest, helping them provide lifesaving care before an ambulance arrives. You may be asked to use a training manikin to see how quickly you can help.
This study looks at how first responder help affects survival after a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. It might help improve emergency response in your region.
