Optimizing automated external defibrillator deployment within the walking golden window for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases: a case study from a Chinese city
Our model verified the current mismatch between AED deployment and OHCA cases in Xuzhou city. Based on this, we proposed an improved allocation model, which demonstrated the potential to optimize AED deployment more effectively. Furthermore, by integrating updated PAD strategies, our model can be further adapted to support drone-based AED delivery systems, offering a flexible and data-driven approach for future implementation.
