Abstract

Abstract Background When an Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) incident is reported to emergency services, the 911 agent dispatches Emergency Medical Services to the location and activates responder network system (RNS), if the option is available. The RNS notifies all the registered users in the vicinity of the cardiac arrest patient by sending alerts to their mobile devices, which contains the location of the emergency. The main objective of this research is to find the best match between the user who could support the OHCA patient. Methods For performing matching among the user and the AEDs, we used Bipartite Matching and Integer Linear Programming. However, these approaches take a longer processing time; therefore, a new method Preprocessed Integer Linear Programming is proposed that solves the problem faster than the other two techniques. Results The average processing time for the experimentation data was   1850 s using Bipartite matching,   32 s using the Integer Linear Programming and  2 s when using the Preprocessed Integer Linear Programming method. The proposed algorithm performs matching among users and AEDs faster than the existing matching algorithm and thus allowing it to be used in the real world. Conclusion: This research proposes an efficient algorithm that will allow matching of users with AED in real-time during cardiac emergency. Implementation of this system can help in reducing the time to resuscitate the patient.
