“…Based on the study byŚlęzak [8] and coordinators of the project "Save with Heart" [9] the results are identical. Scientific reports on the location of AEDs in Polish cities were published by Cacko et al [10] in Warsaw,Żuratyński et al [11] in Bydgoszcz and Pogorzelczyk et al [12] in Tricity (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Sopot). Detailed localization data can be found in widely available phone applications or websites i.e., "Save with Heart",-AED Map (http://www.ratujzsercem.pl/; accessed on 2 October 2020) [13]; AEDMAP (https://www.stayingalive.org/; accessed on 2 October 2020) [14]; AED + You = Life Campaign (https://www.aedplusty.pl/; accessed on 2 October 2020) [15]; AED Project (https://projektaed.pl/; accessed on 2 October 2020) [16].…”

Immediate resuscitation is required for any sudden cardiac arrest. To improve the survival of the patient, a device to be operated by witnesses of the event—automated external defibrillator (AED)—has been produced. The aim of this study is to analyze the way and correctness of use of automated external defibrillators placed in public spaces in Polish cities. The data analyzed (using Excel 2019 and R 3.5.3 software) are 120 cases of use of automated external defibrillators, placed in public spaces in the territory of Poland in 2008–2018. The predominant location of AED use is in public transportation facilities, and the injured party is the traveler. AED use in non-hospital settings is more common in male victims aged 50–60 years. Owners of AEDs inadequately provide information about their use. The documentation that forms the basis of the emergency medical services intervention needs to be refined. There is no mention of resuscitation performed by a witness of an event or of the use of an AED. In addition, Poland lacks the legal basis for maintaining a register of automated external defibrillators. There is a need to develop appropriate documents to determine the process of reporting by the owners of the use of AEDs in out-of-hospital conditions (OHCA).

Aim: To analyze the level of knowledge and awareness among the inhabitants of the Pomeranian Voivodeship about the AED apparatus and its use in a life and health threatening situation. Material and methods: The survey was conducted on a group of 20,971 inhabit-ants of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (northern Poland). Results: The responses of people with primary education indicated that they did not know what AED was used for. People from cities with district status with incomplete or higher education most often answered that they knew what AED was for. The analysis showed a relationship between the level of education and the willingness to start training. People with primary and vocational education usually did not want to undertake such activities. Women with lower than incomplete higher and higher education would not provide the greatest aid with the use of AED. Conclusions: There is a need to install more devices, as well as educational and preventive measures in the areas defined as ruralurban and rural communes. Educational activities targeted at the youngest should be implemented. The implementation of educational activities with the youngest recipients will result in positive results in the future.
