Automated External Defibrillators

A defibrillator is an electronic device that applies an electric shock to restore the rhythm of the heart. As part of commitment to health and safety in Vancouver, the City and Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services — in partnership with the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation — have installed automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in many municipal office buildings, community centres, works yards, and libraries. This data is updated in the normal course of business; however priorities and resources determine how fast a change in reality is reflected in the database.除颤仪（defibrillator）是一种通过施加电击以恢复心脏正常节律的电子设备。作为温哥华健康与安全承诺的组成部分，温哥华市政府与温哥华消防救援部门联合不列颠哥伦比亚心脏与中风基金会（BC Heart & Stroke Foundation），已在诸多市政办公楼、社区中心、作业场地及图书馆内部署了自动体外除颤器（AEDs）。本数据集将随日常业务流程进行更新；但现实情况的变化能否及时同步至数据库，取决于优先级与可用资源。
