Keep in mind that once resuscitated from a cardiac arrest, the patient would almost certainly either a cardiac cath lab, or open heart surgery, neither of which is available. Unless things have changed dramatically there are no personnel that would be labeled paramedics in the US. IVs can’t be started pre hospital, drugs can’t be administered pre hospital.

While there is no problem with having an AED, without appropriately advanced medical technology, I doubt it would provide significant benefit.

For those that don’t know I’m a retired ER doc that helped develop our EMS in Pierce county Wa staring in 1979
