Does nationwide dissemination of public-access AEDs improve 1-month survival with minimal neurologic impairment in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
Nationwide dissemination of public-access AEDs improves 1-month survival with minimal neurologic impairment after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Nationwide dissemination of public-access AEDs in Japan resulted in earlier administration of shocks by laypersons and in an increase in the 1-month rate of survival with minimal neurologic impairment after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Kitamura et al. (2010) studied this question.
