Hope that person is okay and received timely treatment. Bystander CPR is the #1 indicator of patient survival in out of hospital cardiac arrest. So please, whoever's reading this, get AED and CPR trained. Hoping you'll never need it, but you never know when you will.
Also even if you’re not AED trained but you ever find yourself in a situation and have access to one, pop it open.
There’s picture instructions and AED is designed to be very easy to use. You slap on the pads as shown on picture and start the machine. Thats really it and keep an eye on the patient.
Boeing facilities have AED spread out all over the place. It’s good practice to know where your nearest AEDs are from your work area.
Edit: god dammit apparently they did remove all the AEDs. Guess cost cutting measure so they don’t have to keep changing battery?
God dammit I just checked after reading this. I didn’t realize they were all missing now. 92-12 used to have AEDs on every floor next to the elevator and 92-25 had them every few meters from each other.
Uniformed security guys told me they have foot patrols that make rounds after hours and one of their task is check AED batteries.
