This study compared first responders’ cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performance when a dispatcher provides audio instructions only and when both audio and video instructions are given. In the simulation, an automatic external defibrillator (AED) was delivered via drone in response to a cardiac arrest occurring outside a hospital setting. Participants’ qualitative experiences were also explored.An exploratory sequential mixed methods design was used. AEDs were delivered to college students via drone with one group receiving both audio and video instructions and the other receiving audio-only instruction, and differences in CPR performance and accuracy were compared. After completion, focus group interview data were collected and analyzed. Video-based instruction was found to be more effective in the number of chest compressions (p < 0.01), chest compression rate (p < 0.01), and chest compression interruptions (p < 0.01). The accuracy of the video group for the chest compression region was high (p = 0.05). Participants’ experiences were divided into three categories: “unfamiliar but beneficial experience,” “met helper during a desperate and embarrassing situation,” and “diverse views on drone use.” Our results lay the groundwork for a development plan for providing emergency medical services using drones, as well as the preparation of guidelines for dispatchers on the provision of video instructions.

Emergency Medical Services (EMS) takes longer time leading to life loss, whether it’s about an accident, out of hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) or drug delivery during the disaster. This paper proposes an efficient way to overcome this limitation by providing a medical aid aerially via a Multipurpose Medical Drone. A Quad-copter reaches the fatality spot employing GPS, carrying a payload containing components like AED (automatic external defibrillator), ECG, Temperature and Respiratory sensor to measure critical human body parameters. The measured values will be transmitted to a nearby hospital telemetrically using GSM or Wi-Fi for analyzing a patient’s condition beforehand and for diagnosis. It can also be used to carry blood sample, critical drug depending on the situation. Drone aid can be got using the helpline or an app where location and the particularities describing the situation is entered and the aid is rendered to the required spot. This assistance can save lives preserving the precious seconds and reduces the death toll in casualties.
