Does public-access defibrillation by bystanders improve the number of survivors with a favorable neurologic outcome in patients with out-of-hospital ventricular-fibrillation cardiac arrest?
Increased use of public-access defibrillation by bystanders is associated with improved neurologically intact survival after out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest.
In Japan, increased use of public-access defibrillation by bystanders was associated with an increase in the number of survivors with a favorable neurologic outcome after out-of-hospital ventricular-fibrillation cardiac arrest.
