Wolf Creek XVII Part 5: Mobile AEDs.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Millions of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) occur globally each year. Survival after OHCA can be improved with the use of automated external defibrillators (AED). The main strategy for facilitating bystander defibrillation has been fixed-location public access defibrillators (PADs). New strategies of mobile AEDs depart from the model of static PADs and have the potential to address known barriers to early defibrillation and improve outcomes.

Methods

Mobile AEDs was one of six focus topics for the Wolf Creek XVII Conference held on June 14-17, 2023, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. Conference invitees included international thought leaders and scientists in the field of cardiac arrest resuscitation from academia and industry. Participants submitted via online
