    1. UCOP Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Program

    2. Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of death. Almost a third of the deaths from sudden cardiac arrest could be prevented if an AED was available for immediate use. After 10 minutes, a sudden cardiac arrest victim’s chances of survival are practically ‘zero’ without defibrillation.Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common causes of death. Almost a third of the deaths from sudden cardiac arrest could be prevented if an AED was available for immediate use. After 10 minutes, a sudden cardiac arrest victim’s chances of survival are practically ‘zero’ without defibrillation.

    3. Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Electronic Device Diagnoses Cardiac Arrhythmias Delivers Electric Shock Stops the Arrhythmia Allows the Heart to Re-Establish an Effective Rhythm Automated External Defibrillator (AED): An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that diagnoses cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient after pads are attached to the chest. It is able to treat the patient by delivering a high voltage electric shock which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.Automated External Defibrillator (AED): An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that diagnoses cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient after pads are attached to the chest.

    4. ‘Zoll AED+Plus’ Turn AED ON! Press Button Lower Right Unfold & Attach Pads to Victim’s Bare Chest Diagram Shows Placement Follow the AED Verbal Instructions Don’t Touch Patient While AED Analyzes Rhythm Stand Clear & Press Red Button (Center) to Deliver Shock if so Instructed Zoll AED+Plus: Must remove victim’s clothing to bare chest in order to apply one-piece sticky pads (chest must be dry and relatively hair-free – attached prep kit includes towelette and razor). The AED is smart – it tells you what to do and will NOT shock patient if it is inappropriate. Remember – you can’t hurt a “dead person” – so feel free to use an AED even if you are not trained (they are located in all airports, stadiums, etc.). AT UCOP, we would prefer the person administering the AED be formally trained, but if a trained person is not available…go head and use the unit.Zoll AED+Plus: Must remove victim’s clothing to bare chest in order to apply one-piece sticky pads (chest must be dry and relatively hair-free – attached prep kit includes towelette and razor).

    5. UCOP AED Locations 1111 Franklin St. Building 1st Floor Lobby – Opposite Security Desk 12th Floor Hallway Corridor Between Main Elevator Lobby and President’s Reception Area 6th Floor Hallway Opposite Work Management Ctr. (#6119 – To Be Installed Soon) Kaiser Center 6th Floor – Hallway Near Elevator Lobby 12th Floor – Conference Room #1217 at the “T” Other UCOP Locations – AED Units to Be Added UCOP AED Locations: These are the locations of the AED units for UCOP locations. UCOP is currently assessing the placement of the units and is considering placing additional units at off-site locations and in UCOP Buildings.

    6. Portable Oxygen Unit Located on the 1st Floor Lobby - Franklin Bldg. Administer Oxygen for Persons Having Difficulty Breathing/Shortness of Breath Can be Used to Supplement Rescue Breathing for a Non-Breathing Victim Portable Oxygen Unit A portable emergency oxygen unit is located next to the AED on the 1st Floor Lobby Area – Remove the carrying case unit from the wall hook mounting bracket and carry unit to where it’s needed. The oxygen unit can be used to administer oxygen to someone having difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. It can also be used in conjunction with the bag valve mask (BVM) to resuscitate a non-breathing victim (plug the oxygen tubing into the BVM).Portable Oxygen Unit A portable emergency oxygen unit is located next to the AED on the 1st Floor Lobby Area – Remove the carrying case unit from the wall hook mounting bracket and carry unit to where it’s needed.

    7. Cardiac Medical Emergency Call 911 Send Runner to Retrieve Nearest AED Franklin Bldg. – Call Security Desk (7-9790) to Request the Lobby AED Be Brought to Your Exact Location Direct Nearby Person to Summon a Trained AED-CPR Trained Rescuer Cardiac Medical Emergency: In the event of a cardiac medical emergency or unconscious/unresponsive person) - call 911 - then send a runner to retrieve the nearest AED.  Direct any nearby person to summon a trained AED-CPR rescuer (see list on the next slide) - rescuers can also be identified by the 'AED' symbol on their nameplate).   Cardiac Medical Emergency: In the event of a cardiac medical emergency or unconscious/unresponsive person) - call 911 - then send a runner to retrieve the nearest AED.  Direct any nearby person to summon a trained AED-CPR rescuer (see list on the next slide) - rescuers can also be identified by the 'AED' symbol on their nameplate).
