About the Course
Every year in the U.S., there are an estimated 250,000 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac
arrest. The average survival rate is 10%. This course provides a sample Telecommunicator CPR protocol based on the CPR LifeLinks initiative created by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This course explains the importance of
implementing a T-CPR protocol in the PSAP, teaches the telecommunicator how to
recognize the symptoms of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, provides a sample protocol
of T-CPR instructions, and explains how to overcome barriers on OHCA calls.
