“Starting in September, 911 callers in Clemmons, N.C., may see a drone winging its way to those suffering a cardiac arrest. Under a pilot program operated jointly by the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, local emergency services, the Clinical Research Institute at Duke University and drone consulting firm Hovecon, drone pilots from the sheriff’s department will monitor 911 calls and dispatch drones.”
The page also mentions the use of drones to drop tourniquets, Narcan, and floatation devices in emergency situations.
Most AEDs provide spoken instructions when you power them on, tourniquets don’t offer that luxury. People may want to familiarize themselves with the proper way to apply one.
