Since then, we have seen the growth of public access defibrillation programs across many settings within communities. However, despite high expectations that the availability of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and more integrated public access defibrillation programs would dramatically increase cardiac arrest survival, AEDs are used in the United States in only 4% of out\u2010of\u2010hospital cardiac arrests and survival rates have remained disappointingly low. In follow\u2010up to a recent International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation report, an AED Symposium was organized by members of the AHA Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee to establish a strategic roadmap for AED technology, education and training, and real\u2010world use of these devices, including integration with public access defibrillation programs to meet the AHA's goal of doubling out\u2010of\u2010hospital cardiac arrests survival by 2030. The meeting brought together a diverse group of subject matter experts including representatives from the US Food and Drug Administration, the defibrillator industry, clinicians, and scientists. This paper summarizes the proceedings of the AED symposium and suggests a set of strategic recommendations to ultimately improve survival from cardiac arrest.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/jaha.124.039291","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]],"date-time":"2025-03-19T07:03:54Z","timestamp":1742367834000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["American
