| Title | The Impact of ALS Response Time on Survival and Neurological Outcomes in OHCA: A Case Study of Neihu and Nangang Districts in Taipei | ||
| Keyword | |||
| Abstract | This study investigates the impact of Advanced Life Support (ALS) response time on the neurological outcomes and survival rates of patients with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in Taipei Cityˇ¦s Neihu and Nangang districts. Employing a retrospective research design, the study analyzed OHCA cases from 2019 to 2024, comparing patient outcomes before and after the deployment of the Jianguo ALS team. ALS response time served as the primary independent variable, while survival to discharge and neurological recovery were used as key outcome indicators. Demographic variables and prehospital care factors were also included in the statistical analysis. The results indicated a significant negative correlation between ALS response time and patient outcomes, suggesting that shorter ALS arrival times were associated with higher survival rates and better neurological recovery. The deployment of the Jianguo ALS unit notably reduced ALS response time in both districts, highlighting the positive impact of enhanced ALS resource allocation on emergency care effectiveness. Supported by both domestic and international literature, this study underscores the critical role of timely ALS intervention in improving OHCA outcomes. Future research is recommended to incorporate broader geographic datasets, geospatial analysis, and factors related to prehospital care quality and community response, in order to provide comprehensive evidence for emergency medical service planning and policy development. |
