AEDs are available in public spaces of Indian cities for use on sudden cardiac arrest victims
Police stations in Mumbai (BKC, Bandra, Juhu, Santacruz, DN Nagar, Khar & Sakinaka) have now been equipped with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Other public locations in Indian cities where AEDs are available can be found on www.cprsaveslife.in/defibrillator-aed-installations-india
The AED is a small portable device that delivers an electric shock to the chest to reinstate regular heartbeat in a victim. Any victim of sudden cardiac arrest can be saved if CPR (chest compressions) are commenced immediately and as soon as an AED is available, connect the AED and when directed by AED stop the CPR and deliver shock to revive the heart.
When anyone is affected by sudden cardiac arrest near one of these AED installation locations, someone should rush to the location so that the AED can be brought out and used. Of course, until the time that AED becomes available, CPR should be ongoing. Cardiac ambulances also carry AEDs.
