In a simulated environment, verbally providing OHCA bystanders with the nearest PAED's location appeared to be effective in reducing the time to defibrillation in comparison to no assistance and to an AED geolocalizing mobile app, but further research is required to confirm this hypothesis, ascertain the external validity of these results, and evaluate the real-life implications of these strategies.
