Impact of bystander automated external defibrillator use on survival and functional outcomes in shockable observed public cardiac arrests
Background: Survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with shockable rhythms
can be improved with early defibrillation. Although shockable OHCA accounts for only ≈25…
