Summary

This study explores whether drones can deliver automated external defibrillators (AEDs) faster than traditional ambulances in simulated cardiac arrest scenarios. Researchers will compare drone and ambulance response times in different city locations and traffic conditions. Twenty-four healthy volunteers will practice using the drone-delivered AEDs on mannequins. The goal is to gather early evidence on whether drone delivery could improve emergency response in Chinese cities.
