- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which evaluated the association between automated external defibrillators (AEDs) use and survival for in-hospital cardiac arrest. The researchers examined 11,695 hospitalized patients who experienced cardiac arrests between January 1, 2000 to August 26, 2008 at U.S. hospitals following the introduction of AEDs on general and hospital wards. Study results indicated that hospitalized patients with cardiac arrest and use of AED were not associated with improved survival.
