First Responders Canton Vaud

App Name: First Responders Canton Vaud

If you're trained in Basic Life Support (BLS) and ready to take on a vital role in emergency healthcare, First Responders Canton Vaud provides a crucial link to the Emergency Sanitary Call Center 144 (CASU-144) in the Canton of Vaud. This specialized app enables you to engage directly with emergency medical services by receiving CASU alarms, potentially saving lives by providing immediate assistance in cases of cardiopulmonary arrest.

Each year, within the population of Switzerland, approximately 0.4 to 1% undergo a cardiopulmonary arrest. Effective response interventions, which include early cardiac massage and defibrillation, significantly enhance the survival rates. Notably, while survival rates currently hover just over 5%, the potential to achieve rates higher than 55% exists with prompt and effective response.

Designed exclusively for individuals already trained in BLS or Basic Life Support & Automated External Defibrillator (BLS-AED), registration with the application connects you to an elite network of first responders who can be mobilized quickly during an emergency. The accessibility of defibrillators and rapid deployment of skilled volunteers are critical steps towards improving outcomes in life-threatening situations.

Not only does it empower you to make a meaningful difference in your community, but it also enhances the framework for emergency response in your area. Download today, register, and join a network striving to boost survival rates from cardiac emergencies.
