Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)


WHY ARE AEDS IMPORTANT IN THE ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ CAMPUS?

Every minute that passes without defibrillation of a heart in ventricular fibrillation, a victim’s chance of survival decreases 7-10%, therefore fast response time is important. City of El ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ EMS responders send an AED on every medical call, but given variables such as emergency recognition, 911 call, dispatch, traffic and travel time to the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ campus, it is conceivable that EMS first responders would not get an AED to a victim’s side in the ideal time frame. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½’s AED program enables individuals to respond to a medical emergency on campus that would require defibrillation.
