For a few days, the Las Gabias Police has been able to find new ways to save and help the lives of residents. Two new portable defibrillators have been purchased by the City Council so that officers can help gabirros immediately in the event of sudden heart attack. After stabilization, those affected can wait for emergency services.
These devices have been installed in new Consistory passenger cars, which are currently patrolling the town. A course by the Department of Citizen Security of Galbira provided training for police officers on basic life support and the use of the semi-automatic External Defibrillator.
Juan Antonio Franco, the councilor of the populace, assured that the "new defibrillators were added to the ones that already exist at the sports facilities in our municipality. Our agents will now be able to respond to cardiac arrest and act as first responders, which will increase the victim's chance of survival."
According to the Consistory Cardiac Arrest is the leading cause for death in Spain. Therefore, it is important that these cases are dealt with quickly.
