    An engineer named Alec Momont has developed an "ambulance drone" equipped with a defibrillator to increase survival rates for heart attack victims outside of hospitals. Current statistics show brain death occurs 4-6 minutes after a cardiac arrest, while average ambulance response is 10 minutes, resulting in an 8% survival rate. Drones can reach victims within a 1 minute radius, significantly cutting response times and potentially increasing survival rates to 80%. Ambulance drones also have relatively low manufacturing costs of $20,000, similar to or less than an ambulance, and have lower operating costs since they require no gas, maintenance, or paramedics. However, legal restrictions currently prevent drones from being used remotely for emergency response in the Netherlands

    Ambulance Drones
    A bright young engineer in the Netherlands named Alec Momont has developed a concept that
    could potentially transform the face of emergency medicine using one of the most popular
    technologic advancesdrones. Momont has developed an ambulance drone equipped with a
    defibrillator to increase the survival rate of heart attack victims who experience heart attacks
    outside of the hospital.
    Current statistics do not reflect a promising
    outcome for victims of cardiac arrest
    outside the home. Brain death due to
    cardiac arrest typically occurs between 4 to
    6 minutes after the incident, while the
    average ambulance response time sits at 10
    minutes. This has led to a heart attack
    survival rate of only 8 percent. The use of
    drones to speed up emergency response
    time is ingenious because of their ability to
    bypass traffic and reach victims anywhere
    in a 4.6 square mile radius in 1 minute, thus
    cutting response
    time
    significantly.
    Momont claims that his drones could
    increase heart attack survival rates from 8
    percent to 80 percent. This, amongst other
    factors, exemplifies how drones are a
    positive solution to existing problems in
    emergency medicine.
    Ambulance drones relatively inexpensive
    manufacturing cost also makes them
    economically attractive. A new drone costs
    $20,000 which is similar to, if not lower
    than, the cost of a new ambulance.

    It is essential that the right medical


    care is provided within the first few
    minutes of a cardiac arrest, says
    Alec Momont. If we can get to an
    emergency scene faster we can save
    many lives and facilitate the
    recovery of many patients.

    Drones also cut costs because they do not
    require gas and maintenance the way
    ambulances do, nor do they require
    paramedics.
    However, legal hitches have hindered the
    commercialization of the product as drones
    are not permitted to fly remotely in the
    Netherlands. Ultimately, if this product gets
    the go-ahead, Momont hopes to implement
    the idea of an emergency drone to deliver
    quick help in other situations like oxygen
    masks during a fire or insulin when
    someone goes into diabetic shock. This
    creation has the potential to effectively save
    thousands of lives if it gains the support it
    needs.
