OBJECTIVES
Mortality rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients may be reduced by improving early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or automated external defibrillator (AED) use. The aim of this study is to assess mortality rates after introduction of a lay rescuer program (AED-alert) that actively mobilizes lay rescuers alongside emergency care services (EMS).
METHODS
• AED-alert site Twente, introduced April 2008 *
• suspected OHCA patients > 18 yr• 1-day and 90-day mortality rates
compared two years before with two years after introduction
• (adjusted) hazard ratios calculated using Cox-regression
* Resuscitation 2011, Scholten AC et al. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of automated external defibrillators by laypersons in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest using an SMS alert service
RESULTS
DISCUSSION
The program AED-alert initially appears to be associated with a decreased one-day mortality rate, but may be less effective in the long-term. The effect was mostly noticed in low urbanized areas and in cases where response time was 8 minutes or more. Mobilizing lay rescuers with AED-alert seems to be most effective for those incidents associated with a delayed EMS response, for example due to travel distance. Further in depth analyses is needed.
