First…Thank you for your military service!
When you call 911 in The Villages a dispatcher will answer your call. They will establish knowledge of what is happening and electronically notify the correct emergency teams. If this caller informs the dispatcher that the person they are calling has NO pulse and NO breathing (called a cardio arrest event) the dispatcher will immediately notify both The Villages Medical Emergency Rescue teams at the same time they will notify all village trained responders that live within 1/2 mile from the patient with a text message from Pulse Point Application to respond. This Pulse Point shows on a Map where the patient is located and the closest AED system from them. On an average in 2023 in the Villages have 6.28 responders going to every Cardio Arrest event (66 events). In our Village all responders will show up at the emergency property within a targeted 3 minute response and immediately start CPR while one of the responders will go retrieve an AED unit and brings it back to the emergency property. FYI…when CPR is done right it can be exhausting so with other responders there at the home they will take turns administering CPR.
Please note that the villages trained responders will only be dispatched to Cardio Arrest Events. The AED responders are NOT trained to treat heart attacks or stokes. We are not trained to issue any injection medications…EMRs are trained to do this work. All dispatchers stay on line with the 911 caller asking them to turn porch lights on and unlock the doors.
An example for December 2023 The Villages totally, there were 18 cardiac Arrest with 16 AED group cardiac arrests.
Hope this clarifies The Villages AED program!
