Training to improve emergency call handling for cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a training program for emergency dispatchers to improve how they handle calls about suspected cardiac arrest. It aims to help them recognize cardiac arrest faster and guide callers through CPR.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
