Editing Automated external defibrillator (section)

==Case studies==

In a study published in 2017, researchers in Poland selected the main entrances of buildings which had AEDs, although the researchers themselves did not know the exact locations of the devices.  In drills of pretend heart attack, the average time to bring the AED to the patient was 96 seconds, with a time that ranged from 52 to 144 seconds.  This met the three minute goal.  In some cases, the use of the AED required the continuous presence of building personnel.  Future improvements include more obvious signage and public-access AEDs which do not require a staff member of the building to either retrieve or use the device.<ref>{{cite journal| pmid=29168550 | doi=10.5603/KP.a2017.0199 | volume=76 | title=Automated external defibrillator use in public places: a study of acquisition time | year=2018 | author=Telec W, Baszko A, Dąbrowski M, Dąbrowska A, Sip M, Puslecki M, Kłosiewicz T, Potyrała P, Jurczyk W, Maciejewski A, Zalewski R, Witt M, Ladny JR, Szarpak L | journal=Kardiol Pol | issue=1 | pages=181–185| doi-access=free }}</ref>
