ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Thursday, February 27th 2014 [ME NewsWire]
The
Emergency and Public Safety Department at Abu Dhabi Police has set up a
defibrillator at the Dalma Mall in Mussafah. The move comes in response
to the instructions given by H.H. Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al
Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, to install
defibrillators in public places across the UAE.
A special team from the Emergency and Public
Safety
Department at Abu Dhabi Police has taken the responsibility of training
the staff members on how to operate the device in order to be able to
offer this service to the mall’s customers.
The Emergency and
Public Safety Department has already installed defibrillators at Marina
Mall, Al Khalidiyah Mall, Al Wahda Mall, the Abu Dhabi Mall and Al
Mushrif Mall in Abu Dhabi. The resuscitation device has also been
installed at the Bawabat Al Sharq Mall in Bani Yas City and the Al Ain
Zoo, as well as the Al Bawadi and Al Jimi Malls in Al Ain. They were
also set up in five locations in Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Quwain, Ras
al-Khaimah, and Fujairah.
It is worth noting that the
defibrillator is used when there are symptoms of circulatory failure
(ischemia) in a person with suspected heart failure. The symptoms
include fainting, irregular breathing, weak or absent pulse, or absence
of circulatory activity.
