Abstract Introduction There is evidence that use of automated external defibrillators AEDs by laypersons improves rates of survival from cardiac arrest but there is no consensus on the optimal content and duration of training for this purpose. In this study we examined the use of semiautomatic or automatic AEDs by laypersons who had received no training intuitive use and the effects of minimal general theoretical instructions on their performance. Methods In a mock cardiac arrest scenario 236 first year medical students who had not previously attended any preclinical courses were evaluated in their first study week before and after receiving prespecified instructions 15 min once. The primary end-point was the time to .
