Basic Life Support (BLS), Prehospital, TechnologyAbstract
Background: Technological interventions are believed to enhance the quality of resuscitation efforts in prehospital settings. However, the specific applications of technology and the challenges associated with its implementation remain underexplored.
Purpose: To examines the integration of technology into basic life support (BLS) practices in prehospital settings, along with the challenges encountered in its use.
Method: A systematic literature review was conducted, gathering data from Scopus, Springer, and PubMed databases using the keywords "basic life support" AND prehospital AND technology, focusing on articles published between 2019 and 2024. A total of 365 articles were initially identified, with 9 meeting the inclusion criteria for further analysis. These articles were systematically reviewed and analyzed.
Results: Technological innovations in BLS have shown significant potential in improving resuscitation quality by reducing intervention delays and increasing accuracy. However, several challenges remain, including technical and connectivity issues, user-related barriers, insufficient system integration, and psychosocial impacts.
Conclusion: While technological advancements have enhanced BLS in prehospital settings by shortening response times, improving precision, and minimizing human error, challenges such as technical reliability, user acceptance, and the lack of long-term validation must be addressed. Future research should focus on real-world applications, survival outcomes, and long-term retention of skills acquired through these technologies.
