In the world of maritime safety, having advanced medical equipment on board is crucial. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are a prime example of such equipment. Real stories have shown that AEDs have saved lives on Cruises and ferries. That's why it's recommended that all vessels carry AEDs like the Lifeforce model, which is durable, easy to use, and approved for marine environments.
Research has shown that in cases of sudden cardiac arrest, every minute counts. The chances of survival decrease by as much as 10% with each passing minute without defibrillation. Considering the remote locations of ships and the possible delay in medical response, onboard AEDs could mean the difference between life and death.
Incorporating AED usage into the Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) is crucial. By doing so, we equip our maritime professionals with the knowledge and skills to react to cardiac emergencies effectively and promptly. Let's ensure that the welfare of our seafarers remains our top priority. After all, they are the lifeblood of the maritime industry.
What are your thoughts on introducing AED training as a mandatory part of STCW certification and enforcing a mandate to have AED available on board all ships, not just cruises and ferries?
Let's drive a conversation around this important topic.
