Abstract
A novel approach to improve bystander defibrillation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests is to dispatch and deliver an automated external defibrillator (AED) directly to the suspected cardiac arrest location by drone. The aim of this study was to investigate how often a drone could deliver an AED before ambulance arrival and to measure the median time benefit achieved by drone deliveries.
