The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the feasibility of equipping the volunteer community responders (VCR) with the mobile external automated defibrillators (mAEDs) for the management of adults experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. It will also provide early signals if this enhanced system can help increase the frequency of defibrillation and doing it earlier. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants, the VCRs, will:
