The placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) at collegiate sporting venues is a growing trend. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence, location and past utilisation of AEDs at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II and III universities.
Cross-sectional survey.
NCAA Division II and III universities.
Questionnaires were mailed to the head athletic trainer at NCAA Division II and III (N=711) colleges and universities in the fall of 2003. Findings were compared to previously published results at Division I institutions.
Prevalence, location and past utilisation of AEDs.
Completed surveys were returned by 254 NCAA Division II and III institutions for a 35.7% response rate (254/711). 205 (81%) institutions had at least one AED in the university athletic setting, with a median of 2 AEDs per institution (range 1-9). Athletic training rooms (75%) were the most likely location to place an AED. Twelve cases of AED use for sudden cardiac arrest were reported with 67% (8/12) occurring in older non-students, 16% (2/12) in intercollegiate athletes and 16% (2/12) in students (non-intercollegiate athletes). The AED deployed a shock in eight cases. 8 of 12 (66%) victims were immediately resuscitated, but only 4 survived to hospital discharge (overall survival 33%). None of the intercollegiate athletes or students survived.
Most NCAA Division II and III institutions that responded to the survey have implemented AEDs in their athletic programs, although they have a lower prevalence of AEDs than previously reported at Division I universities. Although no benefit was demonstrated in a small number of intercollegiate athletes, AEDs were successfully used in older individuals on campus with cardiac arrest.
在学院体育场馆放置自动体外除颤器（AED）是一种日益增长的趋势。本研究的目的是调查美国大学生体育协会（NCAA）二级和三级大学中 AED 的普及程度、位置和过去的使用情况。
横断面调查。
NCAA 二级和三级大学。
2003 年秋季，向 NCAA 二级和三级（N=711）学院和大学的首席运动训练师邮寄了问卷。结果与之前在一级机构发表的结果进行了比较。
AED 的普及程度、位置和过去的使用情况。
NCAA 二级和三级 254 所院校完成了调查，回复率为 35.7%（254/711）。205 所（81%）院校在大学体育环境中至少有一台 AED，中位数为每所院校 2 台 AED（范围 1-9）。运动训练室（75%）是最有可能放置 AED 的地方。报告了 12 例因心脏骤停使用 AED 的病例，其中 67%（8/12）发生在年龄较大的非学生中，16%（2/12）发生在校际运动员中，16%（2/12）发生在学生（非校际运动员）中。AED 电击了 8 例。12 例患者中有 8 例（66%）立即复苏，但只有 4 例存活至出院（总体存活率为 33%）。没有一名校际运动员或学生存活。
大多数回复调查的 NCAA 二级和三级院校都在其体育项目中实施了 AED，但它们的 AED 普及率低于之前在一级大学报道的水平。尽管在校际运动员中数量较少的案例中没有显示出益处，但 AED 在校园内心脏骤停的老年人中得到了成功应用。
