National Ambulance LLC Northern Emirates Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) first annual report

The Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) network of hospitals and prehospital care services was established in 2009 as an international, multi-centre, prospective registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) across the Asia-Pacific region, to date representing a population base of 89 million in nine countries. The network's goal is to provide benchmarking against established registries and to generate best practice protocols for Asian emergency medical services (EMS) systems, to impact community awareness of prehospital emergency care, and ultimately to improve OHCA survival. Data are collected from emergency dispatch, ambulance providers, emergency departments, and in-hospital collaborators using standard protocols.
