The Emergency Call on Drowning: A Registry-based Cohort Study of the Characteristics, Predictors, and Outcomes of Fatal and Non-fatal Drowning
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
This study aims to 1) describe patient-, setting-, and dispatcher-related characteristics in drowning-related emergency calls to the Emergency Medical Dispatch Centre (1-1-2 emergency phone) and 2) factors associated with 30-day survival. The investigators will separately analyse drowning-related out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and drowning-related non-OHCA. If feasible, the investigators will qualitatively analyse the calls to identify and describe potential barriers for an optimal handling strategy.
