AED installation status in Yokohama City-related facilities

AED is a medical device that is allowed to be used even by non-medical personnel such as doctors and nurses for lifesaving purposes.
In the event of a life-threatening ventricular fibrillation, taking measures using the AED as soon as possible is very effective in improving the survival rate, and even in Yokohama city sports centers and public transportation, AEDs have been reported.
In addition, for first aid, including AED handling training, we regularly hold lifesaving seminars, so we recommend that you take the course in case of emergency.

What is AED (Automated External Defibrillator)?
In the event of a life-threatening arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation, etc.) occurs, the machine automatically determines whether defibrillation is necessary even if there is no medical knowledge such as how to read the electrocardiogram or arrhythmias. This is a medical device that provides defibrillation by giving an electric shock to the heart.
