Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a significant health problem in the USA and only 8.6% of victims survive with good neurological function, despite advances in emergency cardiac care. The likelihood of OHCA survival decreases by 10% for every minute without resuscitation.
Automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) have the potential to save lives yet public access defibrillators are underutilized (< 2% of the time) because they are difficult to locate and rarely available in homes or residential areas, where the majority (70%) of OHCA occur. Even when AEDs are within close proximity (within 100 m), they are not used 40% of the time.
院外心脏骤停（OHCA）在美国仍然是一个严重的健康问题，尽管急诊心脏护理有所进展，但只有8.6%的受害者能存活且神经功能良好。每延迟一分钟进行复苏，院外心脏骤停存活的可能性就降低10%。
自动体外除颤器（AED）有挽救生命的潜力，但公众可获取的除颤器未得到充分利用（使用时间不到2%），因为它们难以找到，且在大多数（70%）院外心脏骤停发生的家庭或居民区很少有。即使自动体外除颤器就在附近（100米内），40%的情况下也不会被使用。
