13 AEDs purchased to cut response time between life and death
SEP 26, 2014

There are two simple steps: opening the unit and applying two color-coded electrode pads that include illustrations showing exactly where to place each pad. The unit then takes over and determines if the victim’s heart needs a shock.
 

Thirteen automated external defibrillators (AED) have been purchased by Greer City Parks and Recreation aimed at dramatically closing the gap between life and death in cardiac arrest events.

The AEDs are mounted inside security cabinets in city facilities and all are compatible with EMS units in Greenville and Spartanburg counties. Once emergency personnel arrive, they can continue using the AED unit or plug the paddles into their unit.
