Crizpy: Let's put social media where it's most fun.

If a person collapses in cardiac arrest, only a few minutes separate him from death. Immediate chest compressions and a defibrillator, which uses electrical impulses to restart the heart, can save his life. But in sparsely populated regions, an ambulance often takes longer than the targeted 8 minutes to reach the patient. Too long in case of cardiac arrest.

Drones could be faster. A project team at the University of Greifswald now plans to use drones to quickly fly defibrillators to the site of resuscitation. – To patients with cardiac arrest. Their chance of survival could double or triple if first responders immediately begin chest compressions and restart the heart with an electric shock.

Klaus Hahnekamp, ​​University of Greifswald, assesses the current situation: “In many cases you can use a defibrillator to restart the heart so that it beats on its own again. However, it is very difficult to find a defibrillator because the locations where AEDs (automated external defibrillators) are installed are not mapped or recorded. Normally, no one knows immediately where a defibrillator can be found.

The University Medical Center in Penkun recently started the first test flights with drones equipped with defibrillators, with more to follow in Greifswald. A feasibility study will take around six months and will be supported by the Federal Ministry of Health with around 400,000 euros.
