The Hong Kong College of Emergency Medicine believes that:
Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia constitute a significant percentage of patients in out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.
Prior to arrival of emergency medical service (EMS) responders, immediate high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and public access defibrillation (PAD) conducted by trained non-traditional responders in the immediate few minutes of cardiac arrests will increase survival of these victims.
At sites where security structures capable of responding to emergencies are already in place, incorporation of CPR PAD programme is a practicable way to improve survival, especially if the volume of people flow in the vicinity is high.
