We present a case study of out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation, in which analysis by the automated external defibrillator (AED) failed. Defibrillation was performed by the emergency medical service. The authors further discuss the causes of AED failure and its implications for the early defibrillation project in the Ústí Region.
