Availability and Use of an Automated External Defibrillator at Emergency Medical Dispatch.

CONCLUSIONS: AEDs are reported as available by only a small percentage of callers to 911, and in the majority of cases in which a bystander rescuer is sent to retrieve an AED, one is never located or used. Sending someone to retrieve the AED may be more appropriate in multiple-rescuer situations than when a single bystander rescuer is alone on scene. PMID: 30572769 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
