Approaches to Treatment of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for over 300,000 deaths annually in the U.S.
In 1991, The American Heart Association (AHA) introduced the 4-step “Chain of Survival”Early activation of emergency response system
CPR
Early defibrillation
Advanced Life Support Measures
Operation Heartbeat

To evaluate whether adding AEDs to a CPR based, community volunteer response system increases survival in victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trialCompared two lay volunteer-based OOH-CA response systems
www.HRSonline.org
PAD Trial
• 993 Community sites selected based on a 50% probability of OOH-CA in 15 months, EMS response < 15 minutes and no existing AED program
• 24 US and Canadian cities
• 20,000 lay volunteers received standard training
• 1600 AEDs placed

PAD Trial Results
•Volunteer rescuers responded twice as frequently at CPR & AED sites (23%) as at CPR sites(11%) alone
•No inappropriate shocks
•No failure to shock

PAD Trial Results
•292 resuscitation attemptsSurvivors: 15-CPR
29-CPR &AED (p=0.04)
•Use of public access defibrillators doubles survival from cardiac arrest
•Results better in public versus residential locations (75% of cardiac arrests are at residential locations)
PAD Investigators The Public Access to Defibrillation Study NEJM 2004;637-645
www.HRSonline.org
PAD Trial Conclusions
•Trained laypersons can use AEDs safely to provide early defibrillation
•Survival doubles when AEDs are added to CPR trained volunteer response systems
•The survival rate in residential facilities is very low

PAD Trial-Implications
•The PAD Study strengthens the concept that AEDs should be widely available in public locations
•Survival was dependent on the presence of the AED, trained lay persons, and the presence of an emergency response plan

AED-Public Policy, Legislation and Legal Liability
State and Federal Polices
Legal Protection for Owners, Users,Medical Directors
Court OpinionsAs evidence-based medicine has defined the
clinical benefits of AED use, public policy, laws, funding programs, and court decisions have served the societal interest of promoting use of AEDs by minimizing legal liability.

AED Initiatives
www.HRSonline.org
•Good Samaritan legislation in all states
•Public Access to Defibrillation Programs
•AED in Schools-NY, PA, WI, MA
•Neigborhood AEDs
•AEDs should be available in all schools and public locations where the emergency medical response time for a cardiac arrest is 5 minutes or greater
•AEDs should be used in cardiac arrest for all children older than 2 years of age
AED Initiatives

Future research
•Home AED Trial (HAT)
•Prospective randomized trial of high risk patients post MI
•Randomized to AED &CPR Training versus CPR training in high risk post MI patients

Role of the AED in Preventing SCA-The US Experience
•Evidence based medicine demonstrates decreased time to definitive therapy with defibrillation with AED use
•This results in improved survival in victims of SCA
•The benefit of AEDs is mainly in non-residential settings
•Organizational, institutional, state and federal policies, legislation, a laws serve to promote the widespread use of AED
•Further research is need to define optimal strategies for use of AEDs to improve outcomes from SCD
