Probability of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) doubles when a bystander initiates cardiopulmonary resuscitation and uses an automated external defibrillator (AED) rapidly. National, state, community efforts have increased placement AEDs in public spaces; however, AED use remains less than 2% the United States. Little is known about effect giving bystanders directional assistance to closest access AED.We conducted 35 OHCA simulations using life-sized manikin with...
