Lifesaving drones - Drone carrying a defibrillator saves its first heart attack patient in Sweden (71-year-old man)

Really good news story this. I can see this being really useful in rural areas where AEDs aren’t as common.

The stats from the pilot study look fairly promising as well. 14 heart attack alerts that would be eligible for drones. Drones took off in 12 of those cases, and 11 successfully delivered the defibrillators. Seven of those defibrillators were delivered before the ambulance arrived.

This was Sweden… The UK would as usuual come up with the excuse that its too expensive… :roll_eyes:

Or the Facebook brigade would of “shot it down” before it reached the heart attack victim :man_facepalming:t2: :rofl:
