Project 100 Brings Life-Saving Defibrillator to Spokane Sports Facility
SPOKANE, Wash. — A new life-saving tool for people experiencing sudden cardiac arrest is now available at a popular sports complex in Spokane.
The Dwight Merkel Sports Complex received its first automated external defibrillator (AED) on Saturday.
The SaveStation, located near the restrooms, will be accessible 24/7.
“The cabinet is heated, ventilated, has an alarm as well. So when you open it, the alarm goes off. It’s got a camera built in, so it takes pictures and then automatically notifies people that I pre-configured on the list for a notification,” said Adam Lang, Head of Operations for Project 100.
According to Project 100, the organization donating the device, sudden cardiac arrest can happen at any time regardless of one’s age or health. An AED works by analyzing a person’s heart rhythm and delivering a shock to restore a normal heartbeat.
