Article Synopsis
- Sudden cardiac arrest is a critical global health issue, particularly concerning out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA), where bystander CPR and AEDs play a vital role in improving survival rates and neurological outcomes.
- A study analyzed data from South Korea from 2016 to 2021, focusing on adult OHCA cases to compare the effectiveness of bystander CPR with and without AED usage on patient survival and neurological recovery.
- The findings revealed that while survival rates were higher for those treated with AEDs (46.6%) versus those without (23.0%), adjusting for other factors showed no significant difference in survival rates or neurological outcomes between the two groups, highlighting the importance of AED accessibility and preparedness among bystanders.
