When Seconds Count: Can Drone-AED Networks Change OHCA Survival?
Thursday, 26 March, 2026
Survival after out‑of‑hospital cardiac arrest hinges often on getting an AED to the patient within minutes - but in most communities (especially more rural areas), that simply doesn’t happen fast enough. First responders often arrive too late, and bystanders rarely have immediate access to a device. This study explores whether pairing first responders with strategically deployed AED‑carrying drones could finally make 5‑minute defibrillation a reality. Join Dr. Boyer as he breaks down what this model suggests about the future of rapid OHCA response.
