The Belgian Health Care Knowledge Center published report for static automated external defibrillators for use by bystanders for out of hospital cardiac arrest

The Belgian Health Care Knowledge Center (KCE) performed assessment of use of static automated external defibrillators (AED) by bystanders for out of hospital cardiac arrest. The aim was to inform government, whether current practice of placing AED for public use should be supported or not. No strict recommendations were given due to insufficient evidence for this device in use by bystanders.
