Drone-delivered AEDs for cardiac arrest: a simulation study
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether bystanders can use a drone to deliver an automated external defibrillator (AED) during a simulated cardiac arrest. If you are healthy and comfortable with outdoor tasks, you may be able to help the research team understand if this approach could save lives.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.
- You understand the study and can give your consent.
- You can communicate well and follow instructions for outdoor simulation drills.
- You can walk without help and use your arms/hands to perform basic tasks.
- You are willing to complete training and pass a simple AED simulation skills test.

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 is testing whether drones can deliver AEDs (devices that restart a stopped heart) more quickly to people having a cardiac arrest in rural areas. It looks at people whose heart stopped before emergency help arrived and who received a shock from a bystander's AED.
This study looks at witnessed sudden cardiac arrest happening in residential areas, and tests whether a new first-responder approach gets help to people faster. It may help improve outcomes after cardiac arrest by improving the timing and coordination of emergency response.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to help emergency responders predict and treat cardiac arrest. It includes both a simulation for providers and a clinical part for patients who have had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital.
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors give better chest compressions during CPR for adults whose hearts stopped outside the hospital. The goal is to improve blood flow and outcomes without using special equipment in the ambulance.
This study helps police officers learn to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs)—machines that can restart a stopped heart during cardiac emergencies. The goal is to increase how often these devices are used and improve survival rates when officers respond to cardiac arrest calls.
