AED (automated external defibrillator) automatically determines whether an electric shock (defibrillation) is necessary when the heart trembles and cannot send blood to the whole body (ventricular fibrillation). It is a medical device that enables the user to easily perform an electric shock. Since July 2004, AEDs have become available for use by the general public, and are being installed in public facilities. We have summarized the installation locations of Osaka City facilities (including related facilities), so please use them as a reference in case of an emergency.

List of AED installation locations (as of December 2022)

In the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, in order to share information about the installation locations of AEDs and increase the effectiveness of lifesaving in emergencies, information on AED installations nationwide is disclosed in an easy-to-understand manner through the Japan Foundation for Emergency Medicine, and AEDs are proactively installed. I encourage you to make good use of it. Osaka Prefecture also publishes regional AED information on its website.
Installers are requested to cooperate in registering AED information on the following website.

• Japan Emergency Medical Foundation registration page
• Osaka prefecture AED map registration page

In order to further expand the use of AEDs, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare established the Japan Emergency Medical Foundation Special Committee on the Use of AEDs by Non-Medical Workers as a guideline for effective and efficient installation of AEDs. Guidelines for The guidelines indicate facilities where AED installation is recommended.

• Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare website "Guidelines for Appropriate Placement of AEDs"

Due to the nature of AEDs, which leave the treatment to bystanders, it is necessary to encourage the use of AEDs in situations where a certain degree of survival rate can be expected. is required.

• The system should be such that an AED can be attached within 5 minutes at the longest from the onset of cardiac arrest.
• Place the AED in an easily visible place in the facility so that the location of the AED can be easily understood, and appropriately post a notice indicating the location or a signboard to guide the location.
• All personnel at the facility where the AED is installed know the exact location of the AED within the facility.

The person installing the AED should appoint an "inspector" for the installed AED and carry out the following daily inspections.

• Routinely check the display of the AED indicator.
• Confirm the replacement period of consumables (electrode pads and batteries; the same shall apply hereinafter) from the display label, and replace them appropriately.

In addition, it is desirable that the "inspector" has taken a course on the use of AED.

According to the "Guidelines for Proper Placement of AEDs", it is not necessarily possible to expect a sufficient improvement in the survival rate simply by proceeding with the installation of AEDs, and it is also necessary to increase the number of personnel who can use AEDs through education and training. I'm here. Since there is a possibility that people involved in facilities with AEDs will encounter situations where lifesaving measures using AEDs are required more frequently, it is important to take measures such as receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation training including AEDs on a regular basis. becomes.

AEDs are registered and managed by manufacturers and AED dealers as highly controlled medical devices and special maintenance management medical devices. Therefore, when you dispose of the installed AED or transfer it, please contact the AED purchase store or manufacturer.
For information on how to dispose of or transfer an AED, please contact the store where you purchased your AED or the manufacturer/distributor.

The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has requested AED manufacturers to provide AED installers with the necessary materials and related information to implement this measure.
If you have not yet received the display label, etc., please contact the store where you purchased your AED or the manufacturer.
