Abstract
Among patients suffering from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Göteborg in whom resuscitation efforts were attempted 17% of all cardiac arrests were regarded as generally suitable for PAD. According to previous suggestions, the indication for public access defibrillation is in a place with a reasonable probability of use of one AED in 5 years. Several high-incidence sites that probably would benefit from defibrillator availability could be identified, and 54 patients (2.5%) arrested in these sites.
