The relationship between intervention and transport times in pre-hospital emergency medical services and resuscitation success
Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between pre-hospital emergency medical services’ intervention and transport times at the scene of cardiac arrest cases and resuscitation success.
Method
The study retrospectively analyzed six years of data from the Çanakkale Provincial Ambulance Service Chief Physician’s office between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023. Descriptive statistical methods were employed in the data analysis. The normality of the data distribution was tested, and for quantitative data comparison, an independent t-test was used for normally distributed data, while the Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-normally distributed data. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
In the study, 2,940 cases involving resuscitation in pre-hospital emergency medical services were evaluated. The EMS teams provided an average of 18.12 min of on-scene intervention for cardiac arrest cases, while the average duration of intervention during transport from the scene to the hospital was 11.23 min. Of these cases, 6.3 % (n = 186) involved witnessed sudden cardiac arrest. The rate of successful resuscitation was 21.5 % in witnessed sudden cardiac arrest cases, whereas it was 12.7 % in unwitnessed cases. No statistically significant difference was found between successful resuscitation outcomes and the durations of on-scene intervention or transport to the hospital (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
In witnessed cardiac arrest cases receiving pre-hospital emergency medical services, the intervention and transport times generally did not show a significant difference compared to other cases, and interventions are typically completed within 20 min. This duration is also considered a threshold for good neurological recovery in cases of successful resuscitation. Further studies are needed to make clear recommendations regarding optimal time values for intervention in cardiac arrest cases at the scene.
