Survival and Neurological Outcome after Bystander versus Lay Responder Defibrillation in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Sub-study of the BOX trial

Bystander defibrillation is associated with increased survival with good neurological outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Dispatch of lay responders could increase defibrillation rates, however, survival with good neurological outcome in these remain unknown. The aim was to compare long-term survival with good neurological outcome in bystander versus lay responder defibrillated OHCAs.
