Public access defibrillation: time to access the public.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Public accessible automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are increasingly made available in highly frequented places, allowing coincidental bystanders to defibrillate with minimal delay if necessary. Although the public, as the largest and most readily available group of potential rescuers, is assigned a key role in this concept of "public" access defibrillation, it is unknown...
متن کاملPublic Access Defibrillation
The single most important cause of death in the adult population of the industrialized word is sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to coronary artery disease (CAD). In a population based study the overall yearly incidence of SCD was 1 per 1000 persons aged 20 to 75 years of age. Overall 21% of deaths in men and 15% in women were sudden and unexpected. The vast majority of out of hospital deaths occu...
متن کاملPublic access defibrillation: a review.
Sudden cardiac death remains a worldwide health problem. More than 1000 such deaths occur daily in the United States; most are secondary to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Unfortunately, only about 5% of victims survive. Sudden cardiac death is the most common “accidental” death in the US. A combined total of all airline, automobile, and drowning deaths would not equal the number of accidental o...
متن کاملThe introduction of public access defibrillation to a university community: the University of Virginia public access defibrillation program.
The use of the automatic external defibrillator (AED) can significantly reduce the time to defibrillation in patients with sudden cardiac death. This early defibrillation via the AED can also improve patient outcome, including survival and neurologic status among survivors. We undertook the addition of a public access defibrillation program at a large mid-Atlantic university. In our design of t...
متن کاملIs public access defibrillation needed in Hong Kong?
The survival rate for non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Hong Kong is low (1.25%-1.6%). Despite the reduced time interval between call receipt and first defibrillatory shock to 11.12 minutes during the past decade, the time interval between collapse/recognition and first defibrillatory shock, at 14.25 minutes, is too long. Studies of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest performed in Hong...
