This new measure aims to enhance safety and response capacity for potential cardiorespiratory arrests at key points within the municipality. The patrols will be equipped with automated external defibrillators (AEDs), enabling immediate intervention while emergency medical services arrive.
The implementation of these patrols is part of the council's strategy to make La Orotava a heart-safe municipality. This rapid assistance network is expected to contribute to increasing survival rates in cases of sudden cardiac death.
Specific details regarding the locations of these patrols and the personnel responsible for operating them will be announced soon, according to municipal sources. The initiative reflects a growing awareness of the importance of prompt action in cardiovascular events.
