The Logistics Service and Management Department of Taizhou University organized a practical training session on the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) on the afternoon of March 5th at the Students’ Activity Center. The training is titled “Rescue at Hand, Lives Safeguarded”. Its aim is to enhance the emergency treatment capabilities of the university’s faculty and students. The training session was conducted by Zhang Xiaoyou, a doctor from the university’s medical office and a second-level emergency rescue instructor certified by the Zhejiang Red Cross Society. Nearly 150 faculty and students participated in the training.

During the session, Zhang first emphasized the importance of CPR and AED training. Using multimedia and real-life case analyses, Zhang then explained the essentials of CPR and how to use AED effectively. The instruction was clear and easy to understand, sparking strong interest among the faculty and students. After the lecture, the participants were divided into 5 groups for practical exercises, where medical professionals guided them through CPR and AED rescue operations step by step. They practiced CPR treatment on a human model, aiming to secure the “golden time” for emergency patients.

Through this training session, the participants acquired knowledge of first aid, the CPR process, and the usage of AED, enhancing their awareness and ability for self-rescue and mutual aid. This contributes to the establishment of a safe campus environment. The training also received significant support from the School of Medicine.

At the end of last year, in collaboration with the University Union, the Logistics Service and Management Department installed five AEDs on both Jiaojiang and Linhai campuses. Currently, there are a total of seven AEDs on the two campuses (four at Jiaojiang and three at Linhai), installed in various locations such as teaching buildings, sports fields, medical offices, and administrative buildings. Their specific locations can be found through the WeChat mini-program “AED Equipment Navigation”.
