Pune Airport Set to Enhance Safety with 5 AED Machines

06 Oct 2023 CW Team

Pune Airport is taking a significant step towards enhancing safety and emergency response capabilities by installing five Automated External Defibrillator (AED) machines. These life-saving devices are designed to provide immediate assistance in case of cardiac emergencies, such as sudden cardiac arrests, which can occur anywhere, including airports. The decision to deploy these AED machines comes as part of the airport's commitment to ensuring passenger safety and well-being. AEDs are easy to use and can potentially save lives by delivering electric shocks to restore normal heart rhythms in critical situations. This initiative aligns with the global aviation industry's focus on improving passenger safety and emergency preparedness. The introduction of AEDs at Pune Airport will not only benefit passengers but also the airport staff and visitors. Quick access to such medical equipment can make a crucial difference in emergency situations, significantly increasing the chances of survival.
