Modelled Response Times for Police and Fire Brigade Co-Dispatch to Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Geospatial Simulation Study in Vorarlberg, Austria

Background/Objectives: Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) depends on the interval between collapse and the start of chest compressions. We estimated how co-dispatching police and volunteer fire brigades alongside emergency medical services (EMS) would change the modelled time from dispatch to arrival of the first unit in Vorarlberg, Austria.
