Deployment of automated external defibrillators by a supermarket chain
For this multi-state retail chain, AED installation and employee CPR/AED training appeared to be well-justified considering that AEDs were retrieved/applied frequently systemwide, quite often involving defibrillatory shocks that were associated with survival for many patients. Investigators encourage comparable businesses to adopt/study similar employee-based programs nationwide.
