Automatic External Defibrillation (AED)
Personal Care Homes and regional offices without onsite emergency departments have AEDs and staff are knowledgeable on the use of AEDs. Access the video below to orient the use of the equipment.
The Defibrillator Public Access Act:
- requires defibrillators be installed and maintained in designated public places
- supports public access; and
- requires all public defibrillators be registered in a central registry so that 911 services can advise of their location
