Background: Timely use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) improves outcomes in sudden cardiopulmonary arrest (SCA). Our project aims were to: 1) identify the barriers to optimal AED use in the Québec City area elementary schools; 2) create targeted educational material regarding AEDs; and 3) measure the impact of the teaching module.
Methods: Using a quality improvement in health-care framework, a survey exploring the barriers to AED use was sent to 139 elementary schools.
