Results: The median response time significantly differed between the FAST™-equipped and non–FAST™-equipped
groups at 327 and 381 s, respectively. The 1-Y survival rates were 7.0% in the FAST™-equipped group and 2.8% in
the non–FAST™-equipped group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the dispatch of a FAST™-equipped
ambulance was an independent factor for 1-Y survival (adjusted odds ratio = 3.077, 95% confidence interval =
1.180-9.350).
Conclusions: The FAST™
implementation significantly reduced ambulance response times and improved OHCA
