Local Law 20 addresses the incidence of cardiac arrest outside medical settings. The Law states the placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public areas for easy access. The Law requires the Department of Parks and Recreation to place AEDs in City-operated parks. An AED analyzes the rhythm of the heart and determines whether an electric shock is needed to be delivered. This Law and teh Department of Health and Mental Hygiene require that personnels must be trained in using the AED. The results show that the Department of Parks and Recreation followed the rules in which AEDs must be placed around parks. However, it did not provide adequate checks to see whether the AED was functioning properly.
