Abstract
Prompt automated external defibrillator (AED) use and shock delivery are crucial for improving outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study was aimed at elucidating the current patterns of AED use by lay rescuers in Japan and exploring the associated factors by lay rescuer type.
期刊介绍:
Resuscitation is a monthly international and interdisciplinary medical journal. The papers published deal with the aetiology, pathophysiology and prevention of cardiac arrest, resuscitation training, clinical resuscitation, and experimental resuscitation research, although papers relating to animal studies will be published only if they are of exceptional interest and related directly to clinical cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Papers relating to trauma are published occasionally but the majority of these concern traumatic cardiac arrest.
