The use of automated external defibrillators (AED) may be beneficial for patients with cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA), even if used by individuals trained to handle it or lay. This study aimed to characterize care to victims of cardiac arrest, probable cardiac etiology conducted by teams of the Mobile Emergency Care Service in Belo Horizonte after the incorporation of AED in the Basic Support Unit (BSU). This is a retrospective, epidemiological study. The variables used were based on the Utstein style data submitted to descriptive statistics. Of the 543 calls, 58.4% of victims were male and the median age was 56 years. Asystole was identified in 86.7% of cases. In 39,0% of cases a BSU and an Advanced Support Unit were engaged, and in 86.6% of those, the BSU arrived first in 15,5 minutes on average. In 46.6% of the calls there was no indication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Of the 112 people who received CPR measures with a defibrillator, the majority (75.0%) of them was with the AED. Shock was given to 14.3% and more than half (58.3%) had a return of spontaneous circulation. This result demonstrates the importance of the AED, allowing access to early defibrillation to victims of cardiac CPR.
