Hiking in a safe way.

We have just 4 minutes to recover somebody who has suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest, so the victim will not have any sequels. However, urgency services from 112 last an average of 15 minutes to reach the victim localisation. That is why two classmates and me decided to design a hiking route where a victim of a cardiopulmonary arrest could be treated with a defibrillator DESA in less than 4 minutes, so some lives could de saved, according to the project "Cartagena Cardioprotegida" ("Cartagena cardioprotected") that the council of our city is developing. Our route, whihc is drawn in the map below, departs from Cartagena's Plaza de España and climbs Galeras. In this part of the journey, the defibrillator will be in 'Club Naval de Suboficiales'. Then, it goes down Galeras and leads to Fajardo, another mountain to climb (both less than 220 metres high). In case of a cardiopulmonary arrest, there is a DESA in the repair doors of Navantia. Finally, it climbs down Fajardo to go to 'Fuerte de Navidad', where another defibrillator will be located. To end the route, you just have to come back to the depart point, Plaza de España.


This is a project we made in order to participate in a congress which takes part in the UCAM university in Cartagena. We are looking forward to being selected for the congress, since it would be an awesome experience to show everybody our project, that could be really useful due to the environment of Cartagena, which encourages us to go hiking now that the spring has already come.
