Key Points

To review and synthesize interventions and system-level strategies aimed at strengthening the pre-hospital chain of survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Synthesized evidence surrounding pre-hospital emergency medical service responses and community-based resuscitation interventions.
Evaluated key links in the resuscitation chain, including early recognition, bystander CPR, automated external defibrillator access, and advanced life support dispatch.
Identified prompt bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and early defibrillation as primary drivers of neurological recovery and overall survival.
Emphasized that optimized emergency dispatch protocols and community integration improve response intervals and resuscitation efficiency prior to hospital arrival.
