Cardiac Arrest at Palma Airport: A Reality Check for Safety and Assistance

Answer

How prepared is Palma Airport for sudden cardiac emergencies?

Staff on site began resuscitation and the regional emergency service took over, but publicly available details about AED availability and response times are limited. Concrete improvements suggested include more clearly marked, regularly serviced AEDs; faster alarm chains, and stronger coordination among airport staff, airlines, and emergency services. These changes could help Mallorca handle sudden cardiac events more effectively.
