Guide to defibrillators
What is an automated external defibrillator
(AED)?
An AED is a portable electronic device
that automatically diagnoses and treats life threatening cardiac
arrhythmias through the application of electrical therapy, allowing
the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.
AEDs are easy to use and could be the best investment you ever
make.
Why should you have a defibrillator?
Immediate defibrillation can be the
difference between a life lost and a life saved.
- Around 30,000 people have a cardiac arrest each year outside
the confines of a hospital
- The chance of survival after the heart stops falls by around
10% for every minute that passes without defibrillation
- It can take the emergency services several minutes (and
sometimes longer) to arrive.
