Refurbished automated defibrillator installed in local chess clubs for emergency use.
In the picturesque village of Eschach, a new addition has been made to enhance safety and well-being – an automated external defibrillator (AED). This life-saving device, installed at the clubhouse "S'Provisorium", is now readily available 24/7 for the entire population.
The AED, donated by VR Bank Kempten-Oberallgäu eG, is a small, easy-to-use device designed to administer targeted electrical shocks to restore the heart's normal rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs have proven to be highly effective in such situations, with success rates of first-shock conversion approaching 90% and rhythm analysis accuracy near 100%.
This installation is part of a broader commitment by VR Bank Kempten-Oberallgäu eG to regional health and safety, underscoring their dedication to on-site first aid. The defibrillator, located at the clubhouse in Eschach, is a testament to their efforts to increase safety in the village.
The installation of the AED at "S'Provisorium" is also intended to provide quick assistance in case of an emergency. It's crucial to have such devices readily available, as chances of survival decrease by about 10% each minute defibrillation is delayed.
In addition to the AED at "S'Provisorium", residents of Eschach and the surrounding area can stay informed about local events, festivals, concerts, and exhibitions through the Kempten Newsletter (https://www.kempten.de/de/newsletter/) or the Kempten app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kempten.kemptenapp).
