Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Locations at UCSD

Find the locations of automated external defibrillator (AED) units at UCSD.

Automated external defibrillator units (AEDs) use embedded computer chips to analyze heart rhythms instantly and accurately, making it possible for non-medical professionals to administer a controlled electric shock to a victim of sudden cardiac arrest. The devices ensure that an electric shock is delivered only when necessary.

Anyone expected to use an AED in a cardiac emergency should be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the appropriate use of AED devices.

AEDs are mounted in selected UCSD locations, and in most UCSD Police vehicles. AEDs used at UCSD are approved by the American Heart Association.
