Installation of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in schools has been associated with increased survival after sudden cardiac arrest. An authoritative academic research database was interrogated to identify all current state statutes pertaining to AEDs in schools. As of February 2016, 17 of 50 U.S. states (34%) require AED installation in at least some of their schools; the remaining states have no legislation. However, requirements are far from comprehensive in these 17 states. Only 5 states offer unequivocal funding to schools for purchasing AEDs. A minority of U.S. states have legislation requiring AED placement in schools, and even fewer provide funding. State legislatures that have not yet enacted legislation requiring AEDs in schools may look to neighboring states for examples of child and adult lifesaving law. Placement of an AED in schools should be implemented with an emergency response plan that trains staff in the recognition and response to cardiac arrest.
在学校中安装自动体外除颤器（AED）与心脏骤停后生存率的提高有关。本研究检索了权威的学术研究数据库，以确定所有与学校 AED 相关的现行州法规。截至 2016 年 2 月，美国 50 个州中的 17 个州（34％）要求在其部分学校中安装 AED；其余各州没有立法。但是，在这 17 个州中，要求远非全面。只有 5 个州为学校购买 AED 提供明确的资金。美国少数几个州制定了立法，要求在学校放置 AED，而提供资金的州则更少。尚未颁布在学校中使用 AED 的立法的州立法机构可以参考邻州的儿童和成人救生法例。应制定应急响应计划，在学校中安装 AED，培训工作人员识别和应对心脏骤停。
