Why AED Installations Matter? 

Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death globally. The availability of AEDs in public places can make a life-saving difference by delivering an electric shock to restore a normal heart rhythm. Schiller India’s AEDs are designed to be simple to use, even by untrained individuals, ensuring quick and effective response during emergencies. 

To ensure optimal use of the AEDs, Schiller India also conducted training sessions for railway staff, station officials, and security personnel. These sessions covered essential life-saving techniques, including hands-on CPR practice and AED usage demonstrations, equipping first responders with critical skills needed during emergencies.
