Context: Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes. The purpose of this review is to summarize the role of automated external defibrillators and emergency planning for sudden cardiac arrest in the athletic setting.
Evidence Acquisition: Relevant studies on automated external defibrillators, early defibrillation, and public-access defibrillation programs were reviewed.
Background: The placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in schools and public sporting venues is a growing national trend.
Objective: To determine the prevalence and use of AEDs in Washington State high schools and to examine the existing emergency preparedness for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
Design: Cross-sectional survey.
Background: Although previous studies have looked at the motivation behind enrollment in clinical trials of adults and healthy subjects, little is known about the factors influencing parental consent in pediatric clinical studies where the subjects themselves do not provide consent.
Objective: This study was conducted to define a group of factors that impact parental consent in the pediatric clinical trial. This may allow investigators to identify a subset of specific appealing aspects of clinical trials that will promote participation while also bringing ethical issues to light that may require further consideration.
