Óscar Noda, received this last week two new semi-automatic external defibrillators from the president of the Security and Emergency Consortium of Lanzarote, Marcos Bergaz, which the City Council will allocate to public sports facilities, thus expanding the inventory of cardioprotected areas of the municipality to improve the response capacity in the event of a cardiac emergency, the City Council reports.
The defibrillators are registered with the Canary Islands Health Service in order to integrate them into the 112 system, which makes it easier for emergency services to detect the location of the device closest to the point where an emergency occurs in order to assist with trained personnel the person who has suffered a cardiac arrest in the shortest possible time, it collects.
Yaiza maintains training and updating in basic life support and defibrillator use for volunteers from the Civil Protection Group and has also done so with monitors from different municipal areas, they comment.
