Defibrillator in cheadle –  the Facts about defibrillators and CPR

• Always start CPR immediately – then use an AED  (Automatic External Device)  once located.  Click HERE to see “How to perform CPR” video from St Johns Ambulance
• If a defibrillator is used within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest, survival rates jump from 6% to 74%
• Seven out of ten cardiac arrests occur outside of hospital. Currently in the UK, only 2-3% of these people survive.
• Effective bystanders CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double a victim’s chance of survival.
• For every minute that goes by without CPR or defibrillation, a victim’s chance of surviving a Sudden Cardiac Arrest drops 7-10%.
• An AED is safe. It will not allow a shock to be given unless the heart rhythm requires a shock.

An important message regarding Defibrillators that is often misunderstood is that they are EASY TO USE AND THEY TALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH THE CLICK OF A BUTTON.
