comments Dr. Elisa Mikus, cardiac surgeon at Maria Cecilia Hospital in Cotignola (RA). The widespread diffusion on the territory will certainly give positive results in the prompt management of patients in emergency. This is also confirmed by the territorial managers of 118:
The devices donated by Eurosets and by the supporters of the initiative will be installed in the next few days and a map with their dislocation will also be drawn up. As for training, the Blue Cross is already organizing courses on the proper use of defibrillators, which can be accessed by all interested people.
“In Italy, it is estimated that there are more than 60,000 people affected by cardiac arrest every year -comments Antonio Petralia, Vice President and CEO of Eurosets –
The survival rate of these people rises from 5% to 30% thanks to the intervention with the defibrillators (AED) present in the territory. We are proud to be able to offer our contribution in this important project strongly promoted by the municipal administration. This initiative is part of the project of Eurosets, to invest more in the field of social sustainability and in particular in aspects related to health, because health should not be seen as a cost but is an investment for the whole community and therefore must be guarded.”
