Defibrillator

When you remove the defibrillator from the cabinet, the security section personnel and the security guard who are trained in D-CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation with defibrillation) are alerted.
When you have started D-CPR, call 112 and send out a person who meets the ambulance.
Stockholm University has over 50 defibrillators placed on the premises

Evacuate without delay when the fire alarm sounds or when there is a risk to life or health or when orders for evacuation are given by the police, rescue service or your evacuation leader.
