Closer to the HeartTandem AED/EMS
The Problem – High Rise AED Deployment• Dot >Legislated public• Line >Commercial zones• Area >AED Rentals?• Mandate >Fire Code
Most Urgent –> HIGH RISES Tower residents and workers have
higher, needless risk Difficult for EMS vehicles to access due
to call volume, city traffic, security etc. Integrated AED programs and training
required, not just hardware The largest benefit for the greatest
number, against the leading killer when deployed
Building owners struggling with AED policies, implementations , liability and compliance
Why High Rise AEDs are Needed
Vehicle-based rescue services typically arrive too late for defibrillation
Huge demographic is needlessly exposed to death via sudden cardiac arrest
The four minute barrier for successful resuscitation must be respected as the main factor
Advocacy, partnerships and IFC leadership could bring the AED revolution to a highly cost-efficient and widely deployed status
Elevator Lobbies best for PADs
Compelling Advantages
Brings the AED in-house, which is the key factor in deployment
Lobbies are secure and public, with a dense population within two minutes of a single AED
Super Cost-efficiency One AED can protect an entire high rise complex
Security personnel can screen events, initiate rescues, interface with EMS
Elevators can speed access and delivery of the AED to hundreds of possible residents
Tandem AED/EMS*
*Prompt AED shock, EMS consolidates Defibrillation <4 minutes and EMS arrival at 8+
min is achievable and highly effective Separate AED and EMS processes execute in
tandem, complementing each other A broad expansion of heart safety to high rises
that will conserve EMS resources, reduce calls & costs
TANDEM DEPLOYMENT
1) Specify Lobby PlacementThe public will come to associate elevator lobbies with AEDs – be sure to exploit their many advantages
2) Purchase within a Service Contract, not as a bare AEDGuarantee its care with a continuing service agreement
BACKGROUNDMandated AEDs?
Fire Code Campaign seeks to mandate elevator lobby PADs in the IFC by 2013
High rise residents and workers finally protected by in-house devices
Bypasses ad hoc legislation process for informed engineers’ hearings
Would associate AEDs with
elevators in the public mind
Proposed Fire Code Addition
“408.12.1 Public Access Defibrillation. Elevator main lobbies shall include an automated external defibrillator (AED) in an approved location.”
Ruling would be delivered 2013
Adequate time available to rally support from stakeholders
A fundamental regulation adoptable via fire codes by municipalities worldwide
The Future The NG9-1-1 Cloud
Next Generation 9-1-1 Cloud will manage text, voice, audio and video data streams
AED sectors in the Cloud may include the AED Registry, EMS operations, local data and records
Opportunity to integrate local EHR and heart patient data into a Cloud DB
Options during leases to upgrade or add panel equipment and NG9-1- 1 Cloud communications S/W
