Objective: To understand the current situation of residents’ demand for the configuration of automatic external defibrillators in south Sichuan, analyze the influencing factors of the configuration in this area, optimize the incentive mechanism, and provide reference for the implementation of the configuration of automatic external defibrillators in south Sichuan. Methods: The people in Luzhou City and Zigong City in southern Sichuan were interviewed by questionnaire, and the staff of the local Red Cross Society and other organizations were interviewed. Results: A total of 768 people were surveyed. 72.14% of them thought that the current allocation of AED in south Sichuan was unreasonable. 36.20% of the people think that the main body of allocation should be the government; 93.49% of the people think it is necessary to configure relevant systems to ensure its normal operation; Different gender and education level had significant differences in the cognitive level of allocation subjects and allocation methods (P < 0.5). Conclusions: The overall situation of the allocation is not optimistic and cannot meet the expectations of the public.
