The Importance of Defibrillator Training
Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time. In the UK, thousands of people suffer from cardiac arrest outside of hospitals every year, and immediate intervention is crucial to improving survival rates. Defibrillators are life-saving devices that, when used correctly, can restore a normal heart rhythm in victims of sudden cardiac arrest.
Although AEDs prompt the user to the necessary steps in its use we’d like to add that training is a requisite in developing confidence to ensure the device is operated effectively by the user.
We feel everyone should learn how to use a defibrillator.
