Volunteer Responder Recruitment, Voluntary Deployment of Automated External Defibrillators, and Coverage of Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Denmark
Regardless of time of day, more than half of all OHCAs were covered by volunteer responders and AEDs in Denmark. Excluding lay volunteers would almost halve the coverage. Our results indicate successful recruitment of volunteer responders and deployment of AEDs with great potential for improving bystander defibrillation.
