Emergency services worldwide face increasing cost pressure that potentially limits their
existing resources. In many countries, emergency services also face the issues of staff …

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major health concern in China. The use of
automated external defibrillators (AEDs) has received great attention from Chinese public …

Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a critical condition with poor outcomes.
Although the survival rate increases in those who undergo defibrillation, the utility of on-time …

The objective of this study was to propose a methodology (1) to analyse how incidence of
OHCA is distributed throughout a study region,(2) to analyse how incidence changes over …

Background Survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is improved when public
access defibrillators are used. Areas of socioeconomic deprivation may have higher rates of …

Abstract Background Defibrillation by public Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) before
EMS arrival is associated with high survival rates. Previous recommendSations suggest that …

Background Mathematical optimization can be used to place automated external
defibrillators (AEDs) in locations that maximize coverage of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests …

Background Mathematical optimization of automated external defibrillator (AED) placement
may improve AED accessibility and out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes …

Aim To compare walking access times to automated external defibrillators (AEDs) between
area-level quintiles of socioeconomic status (SES) in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) …

Abstract Background: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are often placed in areas of
low risk and limited temporal availability. Mathematical optimization can improve AED …
