What kind of emergency equipment is usually installed in crowded places in developed countries in the West for ordinary people is AED (automated external defibrillator).
Automatic external defibrillators, also known as AEDs, are far more prevalent in foreign countries than in our own, and they are usually deployed in places where large numbers of people gather, such as shopping centers, airports, train stations, hotels, gymnasiums, schools, and other places where they are used for emergency medical services.
In Asia, AEDs are more commonly installed in densely populated countries and regions such as Japan and Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, AEDs are installed in hospitals, police stations (including emergency vehicles), ambulance depots, and large shopping malls; and since 2011, AEDs have been installed in all venues under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Leisure and Cultural Services Department.
In Mainland China, AEDs are only found in airports, high-speed rail stations, some subway stations, fire department ambulance and military health teams, and some airlines are fully equipped on passenger planes; since April 2013, all stations of the Taipei Metro, household offices, schools and other public ****places in Taipei City have been equipped with AEDs; since June 13, 2013, the Kaohsiung Metro has begun installing AEDs in stations of the red-orange line. The installation will begin on June 13, 2013 at Kaohsiung MRT stations on the Red Orange Line.
Expanded Information:
First-aid equipment configuration in public **** occasions is far from standard. Taking the high-speed railway as an example, several times on the high-speed railway to participate in the rescue, he found that not only the medicine box on the train is completely different drugs, but also almost no first aid medicines, and there is no any simple vital signs monitoring equipment, no oxygen inhalation devices, AEDs and other life-supporting equipment.
These are the most indispensable in sudden death first aid. The recent incident of the plane "sucking urine to save a life" is also a microcosm of the poor rescue equipment - if the plane can be equipped with a simple injection, infusion device, the operation may be much simpler.
Life is precious, and for the public, first-aid knowledge and first-aid equipment are essential when it comes to life and death. The publicity of first aid measures should be strengthened, and professionals should be organized to disseminate relevant knowledge to the public. When a sudden illness comes, we can be the first time to carry out appropriate self-help and first aid, so that first aid knowledge like fire or earthquake escape knowledge as y rooted in people's hearts.
