Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between first responder (FR) interventions, specifically CPR and AED use, and survival outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs).
- Only a small number of agencies showed a positive association between FR interventions and favorable neurological survival outcomes, with CPR having fewer positive results compared to AED use.
- Agencies with better outcomes tended to handle more OHCAs but had lower rates of FR CPR and AED interventions, indicating that factors other than the frequency of intervention might influence survival rates.
