Summary edit

Description
English: AED AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR

Image of AED demonstration in the Studio

The average ambulance response time for a cardiac event is 11 minutes, and every minute is vital to the survival of the patient individual.

If a defibrillator is used and effective CPR is performed the survival chances increase from 6% to 74%. Twelve people under the age of 35 die every week due to sudden cardiac arrest in the UK, anyone is at risk, regardless of age or lifestyle from sudden cardiac arrest.

The AED’s are designed to be used by non-trained members of the public, and are effective at guiding the operator/user through the process of administering the shock.

They have become widely available, are safe and easy to use, and will not allow a shock to be given to a victim who does not require one. No specific training is required to use these lifesaving pieces of kit, with clear voice commands emitted from the unit.
