... The Sioux Falls Public School System has experienced two sudden cardiac arrests in the past twelve months. ... Placement of PAD (Public Access Defibrillation) equipment in public buildings would greatly reduce the response time. ... Placement of AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) in areas where SCA occurs most frequently would provide access to a lifesaving device. Twenty-four percent of SCA cases occur in a public facility. ...
The Cardiac Arrest Survival Act that was signed in 2000 directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to promote access to AEDs in federal building and other public sites. This encourages communities to obtain AEDs for their facilities that attract community events. There are no AEDs in any of the 31 public schools in the city. ... These centers are used by the public for recreation, senior citizen events, YMCA youth programs and meetings.
