Defibrillation
For many years a trained first aider has been able to summon emergency
assistance and commence cardio-pulmonary resuscitation to buy time prior to the
arrival of an ambulance or doctor. Many are now being trained to use
defibrillators.
Defibrillators are increasingly found in a variety of different environments and
communities, particularly as the public access defibrillation initiative
develops. The immediate availability of this equipment, together with someone
who is trained and competent in its use can significantly increases a casualty’s
chance of survival.
Our AED training courses can be adapted to include all types of machine and run
from two – six hours depending on the needs of individual customers. Often
courses are extended to include assessment of competence, resuscitation
scenarios and the use of other resuscitation adjuncts including oxygen.
