Abstract

In this issue of Resuscitation Sondergaard et al. [1] report that the likelihood of receiving bystander defibrillation decreases quickly as the distance from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) to the nearest Automated External Defibrillator (AED) increases. Bystander automated external defibrillation – when performed – saves lives. The best available data from a recent systematic review and meta-analysis [2] reports that the chances of survival (odds ratio 1.73; 95% confidence interval 1.36–2.18) and favourable neurological outcome (odds ratio 2.12; 95% CI 1.36–3.29) double when defibrillation is undertaken by a bystander.
