2010, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :At the time of the 2010 Consensus on CPR Science Conference, there were no published randomised trials comparing in-hospital use of AEDs with manual defibrillators. Two lower-level studies of adults with in-hospital cardiac arrest from shockable rhythms showed higher survival-to-hospital discharge rates when defibrillation was provided through an AED programme than with manual defibrillation alone.102,103 Despite limited evidence, AEDs should be considered for the hospital setting as a way to facilitate early defibrillation (a goal of <3 min from collapse), especially in areas where healthcare providers have no rhythm recognition skills or where they use defibrillators infrequently.
