Currently in the Community of Madrid, it is not mandatory to have defibrillators in residential farms. Since 2017, only large commercial establishments with an area greater than 2,500 meters, airports, transport facilities, public establishments with a capacity equal to or greater than 2,000 people, establishments dependent on the Administrations are required to have a defibrillator. Public facilities, sports centers or complexes with more than 500 daily users, hotel establishments with more than 100 beds, educational centers, work centers with more than 250 workers and residential centers for the elderly with 200 beds. Recently, it was also expanded to medical centers that perform interventional techniques in diagnostic activities or in the treatment and administration of drugs, such as dental clinics.

The decree that regulates the installation of defibrillators outside the health field also established the creation of a registry, in which at the end of March this year there were 7,598 defibrillators discharged. The objective of this registry is to have a geolocation map of defibrillators in the region. It is publicly accessible and can be consulted.

In Spain, a cardiorespiratory arrest occurs every 20 minutes (30,000 a year) and 75% takes place at home according to data from the Spanish Heart Federation. If a defibrillator is applied within 3 minutes after cardiac arrest, survival increases by 73% and if it is used in less than 5 minutes, the chances are increased to 50%.

But it must be borne in mind that, depending on the physical dimensions of the farm, a single defibrillator may not be enough. Specifically, in communities with large common areas with swimming pools and sports areas, the ideal for a properly protected cardio space is that there is a defibrillator less than 5 minutes (round trip) from any place where a sudden cardiac arrest may occur.
