Abstract
|
|
|
|
Early defibrillation with an automated external defibrillator (AED) is crucial to survival success in sudden cardiac arrest. Dissemination of public-access AEDs have increased the frequency of early defibrillations and contributed to improved outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). However, public-access AEDs are not yet widely-disseminated in Korea. We report the first survival case of an OHCA patient who received shocks from a public-access AED in Korea.
