Pharmacies and automated external defibrillators: A literature review
To better understand the evidence for automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in pharmacies, we conducted a systematic literature search to identify studies that describe the real or potential placement of AEDs in pharmacies in Canada or different parts of the world.
