Sumario:Aim: To assess the presence of semi-au-tomatic desfibrillators (AEDs) in commuter train stations in the Principality of Asturias. Methodology: cross-sectional study be-tween December 2022 and March 2023. An ad hoc questionnaire was used based on the current regulations on the location and signage of AEDs in all stations in Asturias. Results: 43 stations were registered, of which 8 had an AEDs. All were located from the main entrance, were signposted and in good condition. Six of them had a sign with the rules of use and none had a maintenan-ce sheet. The median of average daily at-tendance was 128 (RI=688) in 2019 and 81 (RI=615) in 2021. Conclusion: the prevalence of AEDs in Asturias is higher than the minimum requi-red by regulations. Early use of a desfibri-llator in the context of cardiac arrest can potentially reverse this situation and reduce mortality.
