A defibrillator can mean the difference between life and death
Why Public Access Defibrillation (PAD)?
Every year, more than 2 million people die in the Americas from cardiovascular disease. In the event of cardiac arrest, every minute without a defibrillator reduces the chances of survival by 10% to 12%. With a public-access defibrillator, the response can be immediate and effective.

We are pioneers in the development of heart-safe zones in Venezuela
At Fundación Venemergencia, we are pioneers in the installation and management of cardiac-safe zones using automated external defibrillators.
We operate based on three key pillars:
Installation of defibrillators (AEDs): We equip public and private spaces with reliable technology.
Active monitoring: We verify the operation of each defibrillator and coordinate immediate responses.
Community training: We train people to act as first responders in cardiac emergencies.
They are easy and safe to use
1
Make sure the situation is safe for both you and the patient.
2
Check for a pulse by gently pressing on the neck next to the windpipe.
3
If there is NO pulse, get the AED and begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by performing 120 compressions per minute for 2 minutes.
4
Turn on the AED and follow the instructions.
5
Prepare the patient. Remove the patient's upper-body clothing and make sure the skin is clean and dry.
6
Apply the patches firmly
Adults: LL patch (sternum): below the left nipple, on the left anterior axillary line RA patch (Apex): below the right clavicle, next to the sternum.
7
Apply the patches firmly
Children: Blue patch (Apex): on the center line of the chest. Red patch: on the center line of the back.
8
When the AED prompts you, press the shock button, making sure no one is touching the victim.
9
After the accident, continue CPR and follow the AED’s instructions until help arrives or the victim’s pulse returns.
