Save a Life....Maybe Your Own!
New in August 2008! Everyone visiting the Maryland SoccerPlex at South Germantown Recreational Park should be aware of these two lifesaving systems available at the SoccerPlex
AED Locations
AEDs, Automated External Defibrillators, are installed and available at the Maryland SoccerPlex at each of the comfort stations and on the wall just inside the front door of the Discover Sports Center. An additional unit is under installation and may be available for the 2008 August Cup near fields 8 and 9.
An automated external defibrillator or AED is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.
