“…Importantly, the intervention-period protocol is largely consistent with the recently published guidelines from the American Heart Association and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation. 5, 14 If the magnitude of benefit observed in this experience extends to other communities, thousands of additional patients may be successfully resuscitated as other EMS systems implement the new guidelines. 3,4 Other factors, however, need to be considered as potential explanations for the results.…”

“…To this end, the most recent guidelines from the American Heart Association and International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation advocate such an approach with hopes of improving survival from VF arrest. 5, 14 On the basis of local evaluation and other published reports, we instituted a change in the VF resuscitation protocol beginning January 1, 2005, that provided a single shock without rhythm reanalysis, stacked shocks, or postdefibrillation pulse check, while the period of CPR between rhythm analyses was extended from 1 to 2 minutes. We hypothesized that this protocol change would increase survival status at hospital discharge by providing CPR earlier after the shock and increasing the proportion of time spent performing CPR.…”

Background-The most recent resuscitation guidelines have sought to improve the interface between defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation; the survival impact of these changes is unknown, however. A year before issuance of the most recent guidelines, we implemented protocol changes that provided a single shock without rhythm reanalysis, stacked shocks, or postdefibrillation pulse check, and extended the period of cardiopulmonary resuscitation from 1 to 2 minutes. We hypothesized that survival would be better with the new protocol. Methods and Results-The present study took place in a community with a 2-tiered emergency medical services response and an established system of cardiac arrest surveillance, training, and review. The investigation was a cohort study of persons who had bystander-witnessed out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation arrest because of heart disease, comparing a prospectively defined intervention group (January 1, 2005, to January 31, 2006) with a historical control group that was treated according to previous guidelines of rhythm reanalysis, stacked shocks, and postdefibrillation pulse checks (January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2004

“…European guidelines considered areas with at least 1 SCA every 2 years candidate sites for AED placement. 37 However, these guidelines were based on limited evidence. [24][25][26] Recent data, available since 2009, also elegantly demonstrated the limitation of using such an approach, 19 and these recommendations were finally deleted in the recent updated guidelines.…”

Public-access defibrillation programs have thus been developed to make automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) publicly available, allowing rapid early defibrillation. 11-17Although the benefits of AED are undeniable, public use rates remain very low, 4,15,18 and thus the effectiveness of such programs could be dramatically improved. One of the key issues is the disparity between the locations of AEDs and SCAs. In Paris, although AED deployment in the community, which started in 1993 with the progressive equipping of EMS ambulances, has been particularly active over the last decade, the choice of where to install AEDs in public places has been driven mainly by empirical considerations (local unguided initiatives). Recent studies have already pointed out the limitations of such an approach, calling for an evidence-based strategy.

“…8 The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines 2005 recommended a rate of 100 min -1 . 9,10 The 2010 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendation stated that it is reasonable for lay rescuers and healthcare providers to perform chest compressions for adults at a rate of at least 100 min -1 and that there is insufficient evidence to recommend a specific upper limit for compression rate. 11 The ERC Guidelines 2010 did however recommend an upper compression rate of 120 min -1 .…”
