Adherence to automated external defibrillator instructions during real-life in-hospital cardiac arrest: an analysis of device data
Adherence to core AED prompts was high, whereas interruptive and corrective instructions were disregarded more frequently. AEDs for professionals should incorporate pre-analysis countdowns or alert tones to enhance user compliance. To ensure sustained high-quality compressions, devices should provide motivational-corrective instructions and prompt timely rescuer switches.
