Dr. Rayzen Lim, the incoming president of the Central Luzon Chapter of the Philippine Heart Association (PHA), emphasized the importance of local government units (LGUs) prioritizing the procurement of public automated external defibrillators (AEDs). AEDs are portable life-saving devices that, when used with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), can increase the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients by 30 percent. Dr. Lim suggested that LGUs could enact ordinances requiring establishments to own AEDs. Furthermore, LGUs could establish local registries for diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and other conditions contributing to heart problems to monitor patients and effectively reduce mortality rates. The PHA is willing to collaborate with the government and private companies to provide CPR training. 🏥💔💪

The PHA has been advocating for the passage of the Automated External Defibrillator Bill, which aims to facilitate the public deployment of AEDs to enhance emergency response to cardiac arrest situations. Dr. Ronald Cuyco, the national president of the PHA, stated that once the bill becomes law, the mandatory placement of AEDs in strategic public locations would be enforced, enabling communities to save the lives of cardiac arrest patients through the use of AED devices. The PHA urges lawmakers to pass the AED bill and strongly supports the CPR-ReadyPh 2023 initiative. 🚨📜📢

Lawmakers have filed various versions of the AED bill between 2016 and 2022. In 2022, Senator Lito Lapid filed Senate Bill No. 2474, proposing the placement of AEDs in public spaces such as government buildings, offices, courts, schools, public parks, and markets. AEDs are user-friendly devices that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock or defibrillation to restore an effective heart rhythm. Immediate treatment for sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) involves CPR and an AED. Survival rates significantly improve with timely CPR, the use of an AED, and proper medical care within four to six minutes. ⏱️⚡️👥
