In the event of an accident or if the heart suddenly stops due to health problems, a person can still be saved, but the success of resuscitation largely depends on how quickly help is provided. For this reason, even after calling medical professionals, it is essential to immediately start resuscitation actions – artificial respiration and chest compressions. Automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) help restore the heartbeat and can be used by anyone, even without medical education.
According to recommendations, if at least one or two deaths occur at a gathering place per year, an automatic external defibrillator (AED) should be constantly available at that location. These devices are marked with an international symbol: a heart with a lightning bolt and a cross on a green background. Let’s take care of safety and health – defibrillators can save lives!
