Abstract
A strengthened chain of survival benefits patient outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).2 Over the past decade, the Taipei Fire Department (TFD) has continuously implemented system-wide initiatives on this issue.We hypothesised that for adult, non-trauma OHCA patients, the bundle of these system-wide initiatives are associated with better outcomes.
