Sports and cardioprotection with portable defibrillators

Cardioprotection in sports is everyone's business, and that's why a defibrillator is a good of citizens. Public access to defibrillation is essential to overcome a sudden death, because for every minute that passes after a cardiac arrest the chances of survival are reduced by 10%, being from the seventh minute very difficult to rescue the victim without sequelae . Sports facilities where efforts are exerted are scenarios prone to sudden death or cardiopulmonary arrest.

Facilities, centers or sports complexes with defibrillators in which the number of daily users is equal to or greater than 500 persons should have a semi-automatic external defibrillator.

In some Autonomous Communities it is mandatory that defibrillators in sports facilities are permanently connected to the 112 emergency network, so that at the time of use they activate the action of the emergency network.

The sports facilities in which defibrillation devices are installed must have a visible and adequate space for their installation. These devices must be duly signaled by the recommended universal signaling. Together with the defibrillator, the instructions for its use will be clearly displayed, as well as the 112 telephone for contacting the emergency services. The location of the same must be properly identified by specifying its location in the maps or informative maps of the place, so that users can access them.
The physical or legal persons responsible for the management or operation of those complexes or sports facilities where an external defibrillator is installed will be responsible for ensuring its maintenance and conservation, in accordance with the instructions of the equipment manufacturer so that the defibrillator and its accessories are find in perfect use.

Football clubs and sports facilities with low budget have at their disposal the solidarity formula of life-saving bracelets, cWith the collaboration of the entities close to the sports club or sports association, the sale of life-saving bracelets to 3 € of unit price, the sports club will get the installation certificate free of charge by Cardioprotection, as well as the defibrillators and approved courses for their use, training approved by the different Autonomous Communities.
