Abstract

It is evident that AEDs may be used by minimally trained first responders to terminate VF safely and rapidly in victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. To enhance patient survival of out-of-hospital VF, there must be coordination between AED-trained first responders and ACLS providers.
