Training for emergency dispatchers handling cardiac arrest calls

Cardiac Arrest (CA)

Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.

This study looks at whether extra training for emergency dispatchers improves how they handle calls about a cardiac arrest that happens outside the hospital. This could help get faster help to patients in these situations.
