Contribute to improved cardiac arrest treatment in the mountains!
The Institute of Mountain Emergency Medicine of Eurac Research is looking for volunteers with a valid BLS-D (Basic Life Support – Defibrillator) certificate to participate in a research project involving automated external defibrillator (AED) delivery with drones. The aim is to determine whether this could lead to a faster initiation of defibrillation and enable a better chance of surviving cardiac arrest in mountainous areas.
