“All sorts of colours of emotions”: Ambulance call-handlers’ perceptions of the barriers to CPR in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Call-handlers identified barriers to CPR that echo those identified via other study methods plus provide additional insights into areas not readily addressed by current protocols. Call-handlers' perspectives may be helpful in identifying priority areas for protocol refinement and ways to improve the efficacy of CPR instructions.
