Barriers for Responding to Pediatric Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest During Emergency Medical Calls: A Qualitative Study
Telecommunicator recognition of POHCA is challenged by factors such as prolonged conversations focusing on causes rather than initiating bystander interventions, barriers in assessing breathing, as well as callers' abilities to partake in communication with telecommunicators. Efforts to address these barriers in current dispatch protocols may improve recognition of POHCA.
