Review Meta Analysis
Bystander Automated External Defibrillator Use and Clinical Outcomes after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
To systematically review studies comparing bystander automated external defibrillator (AED) use to no AED use in regard to clinical outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), and to provide a descriptive summary of studies on the cost-effectiveness of bystander AED use. ⋯ The evidence supports the association between bystander AED use and improved clinical outcomes, although the quality of evidence was low to very low.
