If we didn know whether it was a good idea to equip facilities with an AED, why have so many airports, casinos, etc., purchased and deployed AEDs?
Many facilities decided on their own initiative to buy AEDs and to train employees in their use, even before we had scientific information about their utility. Some venues, such as commercial aircraft, began deploying AEDs years ago because it was obvious that a rapid response from emergency medical services was impossible in their circumstances. Furthermore, some facilities have identified persons who have a duty to respond to medical emergencies. These persons are likely to be better trained and to respond more quickly to a cardiac arrest.
