Collaborative Life-Saving Effort: Landkreisstiftung Fürth Aids Crisis Intervention Plan

In a bid to improve survival rates in cases of cardiac arrest, the County Foundation has donated 2,500 euros to Arbeitsgemeinschaft Notfallmedizin Fürth e.V. (AGNF). The donation was presented in an official ceremony by District Administrator Bernd Obst and was made by Prof. Dr. Hilmar Bading, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Landesstiftung.

The project, named "Fürth SCHOCKT!", focuses on the deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in Fürth and the surrounding area. Sudden cardiac death, one of the most common causes of death in Germany, is the primary concern addressed by this initiative.

The project aims to initiate resuscitation measures as soon as possible in case of sudden cardiac arrest. The timely use of this technology, combined with support from lay helpers, according to medical experts, could prevent many cases of sudden cardiac death.

Schools in the county are involved in the initiative, with sustainable resuscitation training being established there. The project also involves the activation of qualified first responders using the "Region of Lifesavers" app. This app allows registered medical professionals and qualified helpers to quickly reach emergency scenes.

The exact locations where the AEDs will be deployed are not specified in the project details. However, there is a particular focus on publicly accessible AEDs in Fürth and the surrounding area.

Enhanced training in resuscitation is a significant part of the initiative. The qualifications of the first responders activated through the "Region of Lifesavers" app are not specified in the text.

The County Foundation operates under the umbrella of the Sparkasse Fürth's benefactors' association. The funding of the County Foundation is based on the annual income from the foundation's capital.

The "Fürth SCHOCKT!" project aims to improve survival rates in cases of cardiac arrest, making a significant contribution to the health and wellbeing of the community.
