The knowledge about increased frequency of resuscitations in city centers provides insight for strategic placement of emergency devices and services in those areas. This can possibly minimize the time until first response and enables early defibrillation with AED in a first-responder program. In addition, bystanders should obtain clear instructions for resuscitation by the dispatcher of the emergency services.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
