Angeles Fire Department

STAKEHOLDER IDENTIFICATION AND ENGAGAEMENT

AUDIENCE

Public access defibrillator (PAD) program of Los Angeles fire department shall be

by laymen with only a very basic level of training. Such defibrillators are

semi-automated and very easy to use and can be operated by a broad base of people

who can utilize them to save lives. The target audience is people of the North Angles

citizens which can be segmented as under

can save life of a person undergoing life threatening arrhythmia. It gives electrical

shock which helps to stabilize or restore the normal heart rhythm and prevent it from

such a case, benefit of using a defibrillator is extremely time bound. If defibrillation is

done within a few minutes of the cardiac arrest, life can be saved otherwise the person

may die before a trained personnel of the LFAD reaches the spot.

Technological advances have made possible the development of such a defibrillator

which is simple to use and can be used by people having only a very basic training of

its operation. This special defibrillator is termed as automated external defibrillator

(AED) and it is hoped that it will soon be in widespread use because of its simplicity

of use and its quality of being used by anyone with minimal training to save lives.

LAFD has launched a program to induct these AEDs to several locations at the Los
