“…32,40 All systems alerted first responders in case of OHCA, with four alerting also in case of other medical emergencies. 18,27,28,32,33,36,38,40 In many cases, activation criteria expressly excluded children, OHCA with a non-cardiac cause and unsafe environments. Due to safety and privacy concerns, one system reported to avoid alerting first responders to private location 32,40 while the others did not provide details.…”

“…19 For an optimal alert system, the minimum density of first responders was found to be at least ten first responders per square kilometre. 38 Alerting first responders: text messages versus smartphone apps Seven of the 12 identified systems were based on mobile applications installed on smartphones 18,27,30,32,33,35,42 and 5 on text messages. 19À21,23,24 Four text message systems were successively moved to a mobile app 19À21,24 for a total of 11 apps.…”

“…The impact of app-based digital technology on bystander defibrillation for OHCA was identified as a key research priority by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) [14] [15]. App-based volunteer first-responder systems such as GoodSAM [16], Pulsepoint [17] and FirstAED [18] integrate with EMS and notify registered volunteers via smartphone if they are within a certain distance of an OHCA. The pool of bystanders willing to intervene can be increased and, in theory, this can improve the likelihood that a nearby AED is retrieved and attached to an OHCA victim.…”

BackgroundPublic access defibrillators (PADs) represent unique life-saving medical devices as they may be used by untrained lay rescuers. Collecting representative clinical data on these devices can be challenging. Here, we present results from a retrospective observational cohort study, describing real-world PAD utilisation over a 5-year period.MethodsData were collected between October 2012 and October 2017. Responders voluntarily submitted electronic data downloaded from HeartSine PADs, and patient demographics and other details using a case report form in exchange for a replacement battery and electrode pack.ResultsData were collected for 977 patients (692 males, 70.8%; 255 females, 26.1%; 30 unknown, 3.1%). The mean age (SD) was 59 (18) years (range <1 year to 101 years). PAD usage occurred most commonly in homes (n=328, 33.6%), followed by public places (n=307, 31.4%) and medical facilities (n=128, 13.1%). Location was unknown in 40 (4.09%) events. Shocks were delivered to 354 patients. First shock success was 312 of 350 patients where it could be determined (89.1%, 95% CI 85.4% to 92.2%). Patients with reported response times ≤5 min were more likely to survive to hospital admission (89/296 (30.1%) vs 40/250 (16.0%), p<0.001). Response time was unknown for 431 events.ConclusionThis is the first study to report global PAD usage in voluntarily submitted, unselected real-world cases and demonstrates the real-world effectiveness of PADs, as confirmed by first shock success.
