Abstract

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests account for a large number of deaths as the time window for successful resuscitation is very short. Timely call for help, resuscitation and defibrillation by laypersons are crucial for the survival and outcome of cardiac arrest victims. Good quality data and informatics play an important role in the effectiveness of the chain of survival. Information about defibrillator location is vital for emergency services to direct bystanders; informatics also helps to strategically place defibrillators for optimal use. Technologies, such as location-based systems are being used to keep track of defibrillators and also alert volunteer responders to emergencies. Informatics also plays a role in post resuscitation care and research by facilitating the linkage and interoperability of health data between different systems, such as ambulance service, hospital, and other health data such as cardiac arrest registries.
