[Publib] Defibrillators

[Brent, Gerry]

Are there any libraries on this list that have defibrillators available
for use if a patron or employee needs emergency assistance?  It has been
shown that the rapid use of a defibrillator AND quality cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) can improve the survivability and outcome of
patients that suffer from sudden cardiac arrest.  What are the liability
concerns?  I'd be interested to know if this has been considered by
other libraries.  I would be happy to compile responses and post them.
You can respond on this listserv or e-mail me directly at
