TL;DRAbstract

Previous reports have described several facility categories as important locations for public access defibrillation (PAD) program. However, in decision-making process as to what specific facilities may deserve PAD programs, each facility needs to estimate the number of shockable cardiac arrest (CA). Such estimation depends not only on the expected number of visitors/workers but also on the profile of the visitors/workers, which may vary among types of facilities. [Methods] Nagoya City has a population of 2.2 million with ~2,000 CA annually. Locations of CA were abstracted from data collected by Nagoya FD from 2003 through 2007. Types of public facilities were tallied and grouped into 36 categories consistent with Ordinance for Enforcement of Fire Service Act, and the number of CA within each category was determined. Data on the number of visitors/workers in each category were collected from governmental databases on metropolitan statistics. The incidence rate was calculated as numbers
