AEDs: 

Early defibrillation is a critical component in treating sudden cardiac arrest. An Automated External Defibrillator or AED is a type of computerized medical device. When properly placed on a person's chest, it will analyze the heart's rhythm and apply an electrical shock if needed. AEDs are typically located in areas that are easily accessed by both occupants and the public, such as lobbies and corridors. All AED locations are indicated by signage and most are in signed, designated cabinets.
