- Of 188 schools, 133 (71%) responded to the survey and all had AEDs. Larger student population was associated with fewer AEDs per 100 students (P < .0001) and fewer staff with AED training per AED (P = .02), compared with smaller schools. Schools with >20% students from racial minority groups had significantly fewer AEDs available per 100 students than schools with less racial diversity (P = .03). Schools with more students eligible for free and reduced lunch were less likely to have a cardiac emergency response plan (P = .02) and demonstrated less frequent AED maintenance (P = .03).

Crazy, though, that every school has an AED. My school didn't. Not that "newfangled" tech was ever a big priority for them.

The 'fun fact' we like to use as a motivator, is that statistically, you're more likely to survive cardiac arrest in a casino or a prison than a school or school sponsored sporting event. People tend to perk up when we say that 'Schools should be as safe as a prison or casino.'
