Emergency Medical Dispatch, the first link in the Chain of Survival
Recommended guidelines for reporting of data from the out-of-hospital phase of medical dispatch for cardiac arrest and telephone-guided CPR

High quality medical dispatch is crucial for survival from cardiac arrest and performance at discharge from hospital. It is time for making medical dispatch as evidence based as possible. One step is uniform reporting Utstein style, tailored for medical dispatch and cardiac arrest.
The aim of this Utstein meeting is to bring together Scandinavian and other European experts in this field to collectively draw up recommendations for reviewing, reporting, and conducting research on medical dispatch.
The results will be published in international journals.

The symposium is supported by grants from the Laerdal Foundation for Acute Medicine.
