Werder (Havel) is preparing on: Lifesaver AEDS installed on town halls!

in the city of Werder (Havel) something is happening in the area of ​​health protection. New automated external defibrillators (AED) have just been purchased and installed at all town hall locations, in the city library and in the Havelauenhalle. These devices are a real lifesaver, especially with life -threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Thanks to automatic language instructions, they can even be served by medical laypersons without any problems. The shock is only triggered if it is really necessary, reports Cityreport .

The quick action in critical moments can make the difference between life and death. Temporary insights show that immediate defibrillation is necessary to save life in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest.

Ideally, a defibrillator should be used before the emergency doctor arrives so that valuable time is saved.

training as the key to security

But what use is the best defibrillator if nobody knows how to use it correctly? For this reason, several employees of the city administration have already been trained in dealing with the new devices. Medicay also offers interactive modules for training for the use of AEDs. These training courses aim to promote the right reaction in critical situations and thus strengthen security in the company. So a good knack for training has proven to be particularly valuable, according to the reports of Medicay .

How important these precautions are, a frightening number also shows: Around 13 percent of all deaths in the workplace are due to sudden cardiac arrest. It is all the more important that defibrillators are available nationwide and people know how to use them. Every minute that flies between a collapse and the first heart massage or defibrillation reduces the chances of survival by 7 to 10 percent. A serious time game that needs to be prevented.

The purchase of the AEDS in Werder is a strong signal for emergency provision. Here the health of the citizens and employees is brought into focus and the city administration thus makes good business for the safety of its residents. A well -positioned security culture always pays off, especially when it comes to human life.
