42 Straight line vs true distance to nearest aed - does it matter for cardiac arrest coverage?

Conflict of interest None declared. Funding Dr. L. I. M. Karlsson is supported by a fund from The Danish foundation TrygFonden, who has no influence on study design; in the collection, analysis, or interpretation of data.
