“…Although AEDs are intended for use by untrained laypersons [ 18 ], a short introduction without any hands-on practice does not appear to provide sufficient training for novices to adequately use these devices. Moreover, Gonzalez et al have reported that two-thirds of laypersons can identify an AED and its purpose, although only approximately 50% of laypersons are willing to use AEDs [ 19 ]. Therefore, these results may indicate that relatively short BLS training with hands-on practice of AED is needed for laypersons to achieve satisfactory performance.…”

Background. Basic life support (BLS) training with hands-on practice can improve performance during simulated cardiac arrest, although the optimal duration for BLS training is unknown. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of various BLS training durations for acquiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) skills. Methods. We randomised 485 South Korean nonmedical college students into four levels of BLS training: level 1 (40 min), level 2 (80 min), level 3 (120 min), and level 4 (180 min). Before and after each level, the participants completed questionnaires regarding their willingness to perform CPR and use AEDs, and their psychomotor skills for CPR and AED use were assessed using a manikin with Skill-Reporter™ software. Results. There were no significant differences between levels 1 and 2, although levels 3 and 4 exhibited significant differences in the proportion of overall adequate chest compressions (p < 0.001) and average chest compression depth (p = 0.003). All levels exhibited a greater posttest willingness to perform CPR and use AEDs (all, p < 0.001). Conclusions. Brief BLS training provided a moderate level of skill for performing CPR and using AEDs. However, high-quality skills for CPR required longer and hands-on training, particularly hands-on training with AEDs.

“…However, bystanders are willing to provide medical assistance in OHCA, and questionnaires in the United States and Japan have confirmed this. Gonzalez et al surveyed laypersons at two Philadelphia train stations and found that 66% could identify an AED while 58% were willing to use one in an emergency, results similar to those in a Viennese telephone survey …”

“…In der "Kasino-Studie" wurden AED in ver- schnellen Einsatz automatisierter externer Defibrillatoren [22]. An der Effektivität der AED-Therapie besteht daher kein Zweifel, denn auch in anderen Studien, die hier nicht im Detail vorgestellt werden sollen, wurden eindeutige Verbesserungen der Überlebensraten bei Patienten mit Herz-Kreislauf-Stillstand durch AED-Einsatz nachgewiesen [1,7,14,17]. Neuere Studienergebnisse über die unbestrittene Verbesserung der Überlebensrate durch AED-Einsatz wurden in den vergangenen 2 Jahren auch aus den Niederlanden vorgelegt [7,26].…”

In Deutschland versterben j?hrlich etwa 70?000???100?000 Menschen an einem pl?tzlichen Herztod (PHT). Der PHT ist nicht durch einzelne Faktoren bedingt, sondern als multifaktorielles Geschehen zu verstehen. In etwa 50?% der F?lle ist der pl?tzliche Herztod die Erstmanifestation einer Herzkrankheit. Der pl?tzliche Herztod wird in etwa 90?% durch ventrikul?re Tachyarrhythmien hervorgerufen, w?hrend bradykarde Rhythmusst?rungen nur in etwa 5?10% zum pl?tzlichen Herztod f?hren. Eine sichere Risikoidentifikation von Patienten, die hinsichtlich eines pl?tzlichen Herztods gef?hrdet sind, ist bisher nicht gelungen. Die schnelle Defibrillation ist die beste Ma?nahme, Kammerflimmern zu terminieren. Die Verf?gbarkeit automatisierter externer Defibrillatoren (AED) deshalb unerl?sslich an Pl?tzen mit vielen Menschen. Es ist inzwischen unbestritten, dass die Defibrillation durch Laien mithilfe von AED zu einer wesentlichen Verbesserung der ?berlebensrate von Patienten mit Kammerflimmern f?hrt. Es scheint sinnvoll, neben Ma?nahmen zur Kardiokompression auch die Therapie mit dem AED bereits in Schulen, auch bei Kindern und Jugendlichen, vorzustellen und zu trainieren. Die AED-Therapie ?zu Hause? hat sich nicht bew?hrt und steigert die ?berlebensrate nicht.
