Abstract
<b><i>Background:</i></b> In light of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the early use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) by first responders, when combined with high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, was associated with favorable outcomes. Various health systems must collaborate to overcome the limited availability of AEDs in public places. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> This review describes the strategy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as part of Vision 2030 of installing more AEDs in public places and reinforcing the concept of preserving more lives. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> The national initiative of installing more AEDs in public places includes (1) an evaluation of current status, (2) the development of a central platform, (3) the provision of training courses and community awareness, (4) the role of e-application, and (5) community engagement.
