Purpose
The aim of the trial is to evaluate a new AED algorithm that proposes a new timeline between the time devoted to administer a defibrillation shock, and the time devoted to chest compressions.
The researchers propose to decrease the periods of interruption of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), while keeping the principle of early defibrillation.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- the number of patients appropriately shocked by AED admitted alive at hospital / the total number of patients appropriately shocked by AED [ Time Frame: within the first day after the first cardiac arrest ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Concerning patients appropriately shocked by AED: - return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) at the arrival of physician on the scene [ Time Frame: within the first hour after the first cardiac arrest ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- - ROSC within the first 8 minutes after the connection of the AED [ Time Frame: within the 8 minutes after the connection of the AED ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- - Patient survival determined throughout the followup period of 1 year post-arrest. [ Time Frame: one year after cardiac arrest ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Safety endpoints were occurrences of CPR-related hemothorax requiring thoracic drain and/or hemorrhagic lesions requiring transfusion [ Time Frame: within days of the cardiac arrest ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Concerning patients not shocked by AED: - ROSC within the first 8 minutes after the connection of the AED [ Time Frame: day of the cardiac arrest ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- - patient admitted alive to the hospital [ Time Frame: within 24-48 hours of the cardiac arrest ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
