Case Reports : First Survival Case of an Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patient Shocked using a Public-Access Automated External Defibrillator in Korea = Case Reports : First Survival Case of an Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patient Shocked using a Public-Access Automated External Defibrillator in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Early defibrillation with an automated external defibrillator (AED) is crucial to survival success in sudden cardiac arrest. Dissemination of public-access AEDs have increased the frequency of early defibrillations and contributed to improved outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs). However, public-access AEDs are not yet widely-disseminated in Korea. We report the first survival case of an OHCA patient who received shocks from a public- access AED in Korea.
