Si Yoda entra en un paro cardiaco, ¿sabrán qué hacer? Todd Scott, artista y entusiasta de los primeros auxilios, analiza todo lo que necesita saber sobre el uso de un desfibrilador externo automatizado, o AED, en esta galaxia, y los que están lejos, muy lejos. Prepárense para salvar la vida de un Jedi, Chewbacca (que necesitará un afeitado rápido primero) o alguien más en necesidad con algunos consejos útiles.

When you're out in public (malls, sports stadiums, the office) play the game of figuring out where the publicly available AED is. Sometimes it can be harder than finding Waldo. (Maybe he has it?) If you can't find it, ASK! If they don't have one, ask, "WHY NOT!?" These devices save lives, and when seconds do matter, having them hidden away is hurting more than helping. (I bet you will see more than 20 fire extinguishers to every AED you see.)
