Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has made an effort to improve safety for the 76 million passengers who travel through the airport yearly by making defibrillators available in virtually all corners of the facility. The machines can be found in baggage claim, concourses A-E, security checkpoint areas, and several other places. The devices are fairly easy to use.

AEDs are small, portable devices designed to enable a user to shock a person who is suffering from cardiac arrest. The devices, provided by Medtronic Emergency Response System, a company that specializes in defibrillator technology, are available on walls directly under AED signs all over the airport.
