- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentMasking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)Masking Description: Due to the nature of the study, treatment allocation is not masked to rescuers or patients. The steering committee will, during the study, receive information on total numbers of arrests and overall success of providing defibrillation. The steering committee will not receive information on whether defibrillation took place in areas allocated to intervention or no intervention. Only the safety committee will have access to all information.Primary Purpose: Treatment
Participation Requirements
- Age
- Between 8 years and 125 years
- Gender
- Both males and females
Description
Survival decreases by 10% for every minute that passes after a cardiac arrest until defibrillation. Despite an increasing number of available AEDs, survival and defibrillation rates in residential areas remain poor. Efforts to increase bystander defibrillation has the potential to improve survival. ...
Survival decreases by 10% for every minute that passes after a cardiac arrest until defibrillation. Despite an increasing number of available AEDs, survival and defibrillation rates in residential areas remain poor. Efforts to increase bystander defibrillation has the potential to improve survival. Through the strategic deployment of AEDs, training, and recruitment of residents as citizen responders, we aim to improve proportions of bystander defibrillation and 30-day survival in densely populated residential areas with a high density of cardiac arrests.
