Résumé
It is recommended globally that shocks by automated external defibrillators (AEDs) should be delivered immediately when a shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurs. However, the actual time-interval from collapse to first shock by public-access AED and its impact on subsequent outcome has not been extensively investigated in real-world settings. OHCA data from 2013 to 2015 were obtained from the All-Japan Utstein Registry. Bystander-witnessed OHCA patients with shockable rhythm who were shocked by public-access AED in public locations were included. The primary endpoint was 1-month survival with favourable neurological outcome, and the association between time-interval from collapse to first shock by public-access AED and subsequent outcome was assessed. During the study period, 28% (2282/8126) of bystander-witnessed OHCA cases with shockable rhythm were shocked by public-access AED in public locations. The proportion of OHCA patients who were shocked by public-access AED within 5 min from collapse was 58% (1323/2282). Among these patients, the proportion of 1-month survival with favourable neurological outcome was 62% (815/1317). The proportion significantly decreased with increased time from collapse to shock by public-access AED (48% for 6-10 min, 38% for 11-15 min, 30% for 16-20 min, and 7% for 21-25 min; p-for-trend <0.001), and no patient survived if shock delivery occurred more than 26 min after OHCA. In Japan, earlier shock by public-access AED led to better outcome after bystander-witnessed OHCA with shockable rhythm in public locations. However, the proportion of OHCA patients who received early shock was still low in public locations.

BACKGROUND
It is recommended globally that shocks by automated external defibrillators (AEDs) should be delivered immediately when a shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurs. However, the actual time-interval from collapse to first shock by public-access AED and its impact on subsequent outcome has not been extensively investigated in real-world settings.
METHODS
OHCA data from 2013 to 2015 were obtained from the All-Japan Utstein Registry. Bystander-witnessed OHCA patients with shockable rhythm who were shocked by public-access AED in public locations were included. The primary endpoint was 1-month survival with favourable neurological outcome, and the association between time-interval from collapse to first shock by public-access AED and subsequent outcome was assessed.
RESULTS
During the study period, 28% (2282/8126) of bystander-witnessed OHCA cases with shockable rhythm were shocked by public-access AED in public locations. The proportion of OHCA patients who were shocked by public-access AED within 5 min from collapse was 58% (1323/2282). Among these patients, the proportion of 1-month survival with favourable neurological outcome was 62% (815/1317). The proportion significantly decreased with increased time from collapse to shock by public-access AED (48% for 6-10 min, 38% for 11-15 min, 30% for 16-20 min, and 7% for 21-25 min; p-for-trend <0.001), and no patient survived if shock delivery occurred more than 26 min after OHCA.
CONCLUSION
In Japan, earlier shock by public-access AED led to better outcome after bystander-witnessed OHCA with shockable rhythm in public locations. However, the proportion of OHCA patients who received early shock was still low in public locations.
