The 100% Survival Success of Defibrillators at Copenhagen Airport

Learn how Copenhagen Airport achieved a 100% survival rate with AEDs, ensuring rapid response and life-saving action.

‹ Back to Resocerces Listing

Copenhagen Airport has achieved something truly remarkable—a 100% survival rate for individuals who experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) on its premises. This exceptional outcome demonstrates the critical importance of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in emergency situations. By implementing strategic measures, Copenhagen Airport has created an environment where quick and decisive action leads to life-saving results.

Why Copenhagen Airport Stands Out

So, what makes Copenhagen Airport so successful? Firstly, the airport has strategically placed AEDs throughout the terminal, ensuring that these life-saving devices are always within easy reach. The placement is no accident; AEDs are positioned so that they can be accessed within a three-minute walk from any location. This level of accessibility is crucial because defibrillation within the first few minutes of a cardiac arrest can increase survival rates by over 70%​.

But having AEDs readily available is just one part of the equation. The airport has also invested heavily in training its staff to respond swiftly and effectively to cardiac emergencies. Every second counts during a cardiac arrest, and well-trained personnel make all the difference. The European Resuscitation Council emphasises that early defibrillation is a cornerstone of improving survival rates in public places​.

The Urgency of Immediate Action

The 100% survival rate at Copenhagen Airport is a powerful reminder that immediate action is essential. In a cardiac emergency, time is the enemy. Every minute without defibrillation decreases the chance of survival by about 10%. Therefore, the airport’s preparedness ensures that help is provided without delay, transforming potential tragedies into survival stories. This kind of proactive approach is something every organisation should consider emulating.

For businesses and public spaces, simply having AEDs on hand is not enough. They must be accessible, and staff must be trained to use them. Implementing these measures can dramatically improve the chances of a positive outcome in the event of a cardiac arrest. If you’re looking to enhance the safety of your space, explore our range of AEDs and accessories at Defib Supplies today.

Lessons Other Organisations Can Learn

Copenhagen Airport’s achievement is more than just an impressive statistic; it’s a vivid demonstration of how preparation and training can save lives. For those responsible for public safety, the takeaway is clear: investing in high-quality AEDs and ensuring that staff are trained to use them effectively can make the difference between life and death. It’s not just about having the equipment; it’s about being ready to act when every second counts.

If you’re ready to follow Copenhagen Airport’s lead, consider equipping your facility with the necessary tools. Visit our product guide for expert advice and a wide range of defibrillator products tailored to your specific needs. Furthermore, to gain a deeper understanding of the broader impact of AEDs in public health, visit trusted sources such as the European Resuscitation Council.

Don’t Wait—Act Now

The 100% survival rate at Copenhagen Airport is not just a figure—it’s a compelling call to action. Preparedness saves lives. Don’t wait for a crisis to highlight your vulnerabilities; take steps now to ensure your environment is equipped to respond effectively when it matters most. By implementing AEDs and comprehensive training programmes, you can create a safer space that’s ready to act when every second counts.
