This article backed a conference I just attended on 5/15 at the FDNY Academy. Interesting concepts. I would love to see a large scale trial on this...

The problem is a response time greater than 6 minutes and lack of citizen CPR. Fix that and you want need double defibrillation.

Interesting read, considering most arrests get two trucks arriving, each with a manual defibrillator on board, so there is two defibs on scene, might have a chat to the cardiologists and EP docs about what do they think about it. Especially if one set is A/P placement and the others are sterum/apex placement.

Cost effectiveness will be the biggest problem...
