Use of automated external defibrillator by first responders in out of hospital cardiac arrest: prospective controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the use of an automated external defibrillator by police and fire fighters results in higher discharge rates for out of hospital cardiac arrest. DESIGN Controlled clinical trial with initial random allocation of automated external defibrillators to first responders in four of the eight participating regions; each region switched from control to experiment...
متن کاملOutcomes of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest by Public Location in the Public‐Access Defibrillation Era
BACKGROUND The strategy to place public-access automated external defibrillators (AEDs) has not yet been established in real settings. METHODS AND RESULTS This, prospective, population-based observational study in Osaka, Japan, included consecutive out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with resuscitation attempts during 7 years, from January 2005 through December 2011. The trends in ...
متن کاملChest compressions cause recurrence of ventricular fibrillation after the first successful conversion by defibrillation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND Unlike Resuscitation Guidelines (GL) 2000, GL2005 advise resuming cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) immediately after defibrillation. We hypothesized that immediate CPR resumption promotes earlier recurrence of ventricular fibrillation (VF). METHODS AND RESULTS This study used data of a prospective per-patient randomized controlled trial. Automated external defibrillators used by...
متن کاملOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
Myocardial disease and death from cardiac arrest remain significant public health problems. Sudden death events and out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) are encountered frequently by emergency medical services. Despite more than 30 years of research, survival rates remain extremely low. This article reviews access and presentations, demographics, OHCA outcomes, and response systems and proces...
متن کامل[Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest].
An 84-year-old man called the emergency service from his home because of recent chest pain associated with dyspnea. He had a long-standing history of coronary artery disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. One minute after the basic life support team arrived, the patient went into cardiac arrest. The rescuers deployed their automated external defibrillator, and 1 electric shock was d...
