Use of Public Access Defibrillators by Untrained Bystanders

NCT03230773 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2022-05-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is time critical and diminishes rapidly without appropriate intervention. Bystander CPR at least doubles the chances of survival and the additional use of a public access defibrillator (PAD) can again double overall survival rates. PADs are designed to be easy and simple to use, but whether untrained bystanders can use them safely and effectively is unknown. This study will aim to assess the ability of untrained bystanders to deploy a PAD in a simulated cardiac arrest.
