English
Authors' results and conclusions: Based on the Level II evidence and given the level of need in the community, it is expected that public access defibrillators will diffuse - or are diffusing- throughout the Australian health system. However, it is unlikely that this technology will impact on policy or costs of the public health system in Australia.
Authors' recommendations: HealthPACT recommends that this technology be archived.
