Automated external defibrillators

A dataset providing the locations of all automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in council buildings where there is a high footfall of staff or members of the public.

Further information

Defibrillator units are the definitive treatment for a fibrillating heart (erratic, irregular and inefficient heart rhythm). Without rapid use (within four minutes) and early CPR the likelihood of survival from a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is extremely low, even with the ambulance service being called.

An AED on site or very nearby and early use has the potential to increase the chances of survival by around 50-70%.
