Test delivers defibrillator to home where a person could be having a heart attack in about two minutes
A new pilot project that uses drones to bring life-saving cardiac equipment quickly to patients who suffer heart attacks at home took a step closer to being rolled out, following a successful simulation flight.
“While the capital costs might be quite high, the cost savings in lives saved and disability, that’s huge,” Dr Curtin said. Prof Joseph Galvin, cardiologist and member of the Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Register Steering Group, said the project had “great potential” and was something they had been waiting on for a long time.
