Yes cpr and aed’s are for maybe two different conditions. As mentioned 20 years in our village, many many AED,s on each street, many batteries replaced, lots of money etc and not a single ones used! I know personally of 1 case in the last 2 months that CPR brought back the person to life that had stopped breathing. ( that person later had tripled bypass surgery). Now the question: How many people’s lives have been saved by these AED’s that are being controlled by the Villagers? If we believe that even one persons life can be saved by the AED’s that The Villagers manage and that it is worth it , then we should have epi pens for severe reactions that stop people from breathing. We should have Narcan and the list goes on and on. So where does it stop? The better value is to teach everybody CPR in the village! It works everywhere, even places AED’s are not located.
Have a good beer!
