News / Outdoor Cabinets

A North Carolina parks department just put AEDs in two county parks. Outdoor placement raises four questions a lobby cabinet never asks, and getting any one of them wrong produces a device that is present but unavailable.

In cardiac arrest, the first shock usually does not land until around minute eleven. A Virginia county is now flying AEDs in by drone, and a city three hours north just put one in a weatherproof cabinet in a public park. Two answers to the same problem.
