AEDs are for sudden cardiac arrest: on a group ride, during hard intervals or after a crash that leaves a rider unresponsive and not breathing normally. In any emergency call 112 first, start CPR and send someone for the nearest AED on the map.
The exact positions of the four AEDs are on the map on this page; check them before you ride so you are not searching under stress. On the ground, look for the standard AED sign (a heart with a lightning bolt) and a marked cabinet. Most public AEDs are semi-automatic and give voice instructions once opened, so you do not need medical training to use one.
If you’re riding the flat coastal or inland loops that pass through Muro, it helps to know which part of town the nearest unit is in. If you’re on a fast group ride, agree beforehand who calls 112 and who fetches the AED, so nobody loses time deciding.
Muro is busier in high season and at weekends, when locals are around to help and point you to equipment. Early-morning or late-evening rides mean fewer passers-by, and a unit inside or beside a building may not be reachable when it is closed. Keep your phone charged and see the emergency contacts page for all numbers, plus the Muro town page for other services.
Common questions
Where exactly in Muro will I find these defibrillators?

What should I do if someone collapses and there’s an AED listed in Muro?
Call 112 immediately, send someone to fetch the nearest AED, start CPR and follow the AED’s voice prompts once it’s switched on. Assign roles quickly: caller, AED retriever and the person doing CPR.
