There were significant differences in both arrest location and patient gender between the FAST™- and non–FAST™-
equipped groups. However, no significant difference existed in the duration of transportation to hospital between FAST™- and non–FAST™- equipped ambulances. The response time was significantly shorter and the incidence of response time under 300 seconds was significantly higher in the FAST™-equipped group. The median response times (25%-75%)
were 327 (244-429) s in the FAST™-equipped group and 381 (291-487) s in the non–FAST™-equipped group. ACLS procedures, including tracheal intubation and epinephrine administration, occurred more frequently in OHCA patients transported by FAST™-equipped ambulances.
