    The University of Santiago de Compostela decided to adopt cardio-protection measures on its campuses, through the installation of semi-automatic defibrillators (SAED) and the training of its employees so that they know how to act in the case of emergency situations, among which cardio-respiratory arrest is highlighted.

    You do not need to be a doctor to save a life. All you need is knowledge, some courage and the necessary equipment. A person's life can be cut short by a sudden cardiac arrest. It can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time.

    • USC security personnel are also trained in the use of the semi-automatic defibrillator (SAED).

      • Santiago security patrol telephone number: 600 940 050 (24 hours).
      • Lugo security patrol telephone number: 647 344 344 (Monday to Friday from 3 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays 24 hours).

      • Decree 99/2005, of 21 April, regulating the training and use of external defibrillators by non-medical personnel.
      • Royal Decree 365/2009, of 20 March, establishing the minimum conditions and requirements for safety and quality in the use of automatic and semi-automatic external defibrillators outside the health sector.
      • Decree 38/2017, of 23 March, which regulates the installation and use of external defibrillators outside the healthcare setting and creates their registry.
