Emergency telecommunicators should have the ability to inform callers of the location of nearby AEDs—not just ask if there is an AED nearby during a cardiac arrest emergency.
Public safety telecommunicators are a critical link in the cardiac arrest chain of survival. Similar to providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation instruction (T-CPR), equipping call takers with automated external defibrillator locations (T-AED) can improve outcomes.
The PulsePoint-hosted Emergency AED Registry is integrated with leading medical protocol systems and tactical map vendors, including ProQA Paramount, APCO Intellicomm, PowerPhone Total Response, and RapidDeploy Radius. These strategic integrations allow telecommunicators to inform callers of the exact location of registered AEDs within familiar applications and workflows.
This webinar will demonstrate how to incorporate the Emergency AED Registry and AED-Needed Alerts into existing cardiac arrest protocols in your ECC. PulsePoint is a public, non-profit 501(c)3 organization that hosts the Emergency AED Registry as part of its core mission to improve cardiac arrest survival.
