Zègre-Hemsey tests drone delivery of defibrillators in North Carolina
This study examined the feasibility of drone delivery of an automated external defibrillator in simulated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Dr. Jessica Zègre-Hemsey and her team conducted a randomized trial that consisted of 35 tests, in a community setting, in which an AED was delivered by an autonomously flying drone and a bystander searched and retrieved a fixed-location AED from the surrounding area. In each test, an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was simulated with the use of a life-size mannequin. Full study details in the research article and appendix.
