[The automatic external defibrillator in the Netherlands; an advisory report from the Health Council of the Netherlands].

Abstract
The introduction of the automatic external defibrillator could become an important improvement in the treatment of sudden cardiac arrest in the Netherlands, if the legal regulations for the treatment of sudden cardiac death in the Individual Healthcare Professions Act are modified. The time gained in the recovery of the cardial function is considerable. The use of this device by patrolling police teams and its installation at places where a lot of people congregate would seem to be particularly promising. However, whether the presence of an automatic external defibrillator in the home situation would provide any benefits remains questionable.
