Differences between out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in residential and public locations and implications for public-access defibrillation

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

The majority of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) occur in residential locations, but knowledge about strategic placement of automated external defibrillators in residential areas is lacking. We examined whether residential OHCA areas suitable for placement of automated external defibrillators could be identified on the basis of demographic characteristics and characterized individuals with OHCA in residential locations.
