The Franklin Building has an AED located in the elevator lobby on every floor (except on the 12th floor, where the AED is located in the hallway corridor opposite the men’s restroom and kitchenette).  An AED is also located in the 1st floor lobby opposite the security desk.  In the event of a cardiac-related medical emergency (or unconscious/unresponsive person) – call 911 – then send a runner to retrieve the nearest AED.  Find a trained AED-CPR rescuer (rescuers can be identified by the ‘AED’ sticker on their nameplate; see list of trained staff below).  Also notify Security (7-9790) of the medical emergency.

Portable Oxygen Unit

A portable emergency oxygen unit is located next to the AED in the 1st Floor Lobby. This unit can be used to administer oxygen to someone having difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. It can also be used in conjunction with the bag valve mask (BVM) to resuscitate a non-breathing victim.
