Imagine for one moment a scenario where you witness a loved one collapse and die. The effect on you and the family is devastating. Imagine now if this were a child….
The sad truth is that most out of hospital cardiac arrest victims sadly die. Yet this need not be the case, defibrillators do work and do save lives. Your chances of seeing your loved one survive increase dramatically if an AED is available quickly and you have trained staff in your building.
These simple-to-use units are based on computer technology which is designed to analyse the heart rhythm itself, and then advise the user whether a shock is required. They are designed to be used by lay persons, who require little training to operate them correctly. They are totally safe and read the hearts rhythm more accurately trhan a doctor. Today a defibrillator is considered First Aid equipment as it is the definitive treatment for a cardiac arrest.
Automated external defibrillators are generally held by trained personnel who will attend incidents using units which can be found in places including government offices, shopping centres, airports, restaurants, casinos, hotels, sports stadiums, schools and universities, community centres, fitness centres and health clubs, supermarkets, nurserys…. Yes nurserys they work on kids too!!!
Following a course of instruction in AED usage your staff will know why and how they work and also that all trained operators must phone for the emergency services as anyone that is unconscious will need the attention of trained ambulance and medical staff. What ever your choice of defibrillator we can provide on site training for you, and give the confidence to use the equipment without worry. Training can be delivered anywhere in the UK from Southport to Scarborough, London to Liverpool.
Make a bold statement….We value life, We value our staff, We value our children, you have come this far by reading this. Now make the decision to bring defibrillation to your workforce.
