Bystanders themselves can also locate the nearest automatedexternaldefibrillator with the use of a smartphone application.
3
Discussion of this medical condition has highlighted the need for immediate access to automatedexternaldefibrillator (AED) machines.
4
Patient outcomes were more favorable in studies investigating portable devices than in studies investigating automatedexternaldefibrillator (AED)-associated devices.
5
It has become the first of 26 clubs in Britain to install a Lifepak 500 automatedexternaldefibrillator.
6
Bystanders can also be trained to use an automatedexternaldefibrillator (AED) to shock the heart to start it beating again.
7
He is thrust into the world of the dead for three minutes before being brought back to life by an automatedexternaldefibrillator.
8
In order to achieve the earliest possible defibrillation, many emergency medical services (EMS) systems equip first-responding units with an automatedexternaldefibrillator (AED).
9
In July 2004, Japan made it legal for any of its 127 million citizens to use an automatedexternaldefibrillator, or AED.
10
Measurements and main results: More than 28,000 people were trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automatedexternaldefibrillator use in the two sites.
11
Automatedexternaldefibrillators, often found in airports and other public places, vastly improve the chances of survival.
12
Several states require schools to have automatedexternaldefibrillators, or AEDs, on site to treat cardiac arrests.
13
Objective: To determine the availability of early defibrillation and automatedexternaldefibrillators in nursing homes in selected cities.
14
Context: Automatedexternaldefibrillators (AEDs) improve survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, but data on their effectiveness in hospitalized patients are limited.
15
Patients: A total of 120 patients with out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation as the first recorded rhythm were treated with defibrillation with automatedexternaldefibrillators.
16
Background: If attenuated adult shocks are safe and effective for prehospital pediatric VF, automatedexternaldefibrillators (AEDs) can be easily adapted for pediatric use.
