Abstract
Hansen et al (Circulation 2013;Epub, PMID 24036607) assessed the effect of automated external defibrillator (AED) accessibility on the coverage of cardiac arrests in public locations over 7 years. AED coverage was defined as cardiac arrests within 100 m of an AED (1) irrespective of AED accessibility and (2) accessible at the time of cardiac arrest. Of 1864 cardiac arrests, 1152 (61.8%) occurred during the evening, nighttime, or weekends. Of 552 AEDs, 50 (9.1%) were accessible at all hours, and 532 (96.4%) during daytime on all weekdays.
