Where Should AEDs Be Placed?

AEDs should be considered for any location where:

• Fifteen or more people work or spend substantial parts of the day
• The nearest emergency medical services are more than a couple minutes away
• Crowds of people congregate even if for a few hours
• A segment of the population that visits the location is at higher risk of cardiac arrest
• Strenuous activity is a normal part of the routine

The following facilities should consider placing AEDs and implementing  public access defibrillation programs.
