This AED is one which we think is great value for money as well as an easy-to-use reliable unit.
​
Publicly accessible defibrillators or AEDs should not be utilized on an infant (birth -12 months) as the output of the device and the pads are not suited.
Just a few pointers about upkeep for a Defibrillator if you own one!
For all casualties who are unresponsive & not breathing normally, chest compressions should be commenced immediately & continued until an AED is applied. The AED should be applied as soon as it becomes available so that a shock can be delivered if necessary.
The use of AEDs by trained lay & professional responders is recommended to increase survival rates in those who have cardiac arrest 💔💔💔
The development of AEDs has made defibrillation part of basic life support. AEDs can accurately identify the cardiac rhythm as “shockable” or “non shockable”
If a casualty with a stoma requires CPR you can use a key-ring, one way valve device over the stoma but remember to block the nose & mouth when breathing for them.
30 - 2 no matter who!
Do you know where the closest defibrillator to home is? What about where you are on the weekend or at work ? Have a look around and note where they are!
Even if someone has a pacemaker, they still may require CPR and the use of a Defibrillator. Here is a little info about defibrillator pads!
Confronting but real!
Would you know what & how to help ?????
The AIMS of the ARC
1. foster and co-ordinate the practice and teaching of resuscitation.
2. promote uniformity and standardization of resuscitation techniques.
3. act as a voluntary coordinating body.
For every 1 minute there is no blood circulating through the heart 10% of the muscle will die. 😟☹️💔 Without CPR Oxygen is not circulating and we will die.
NO AIR NO LIFE
All rescuers should perform chest compressions for all persons who are unresponsive and not breathing normally
Rescuers should perform chest compressions for all ages at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute (almost 2 compressions/second)

Strategically placed AED don't you think??
Keep your eyes on the lookout!
Knowing where the nearest Defibrillator is located when at home, work or out and about could be the difference between life & death. 
Do you have access to a barrier device to perform rescue breaths? It is a reasonable & sometimes essential aspect during CPR!
☎️ ➡️ 🚑 ➡️ 🏥
The purpose of CPR is to temporarily maintain a circulation sufficient to preserve brain function until specialised treatment is available.
AED use should not be restricted to trained personnel. Allowing the use of AEDs by individuals without prior formal training can be beneficial & may be lifesaving. ☎️ ➡️ 🚑 ➡️ 🏥
The importance of defibrillation has been well established as part of overall resuscitation, along with effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Here is a little more info on the placement of the pads!
Where have you 👀 one of these? ♥️🚑🇦🇺️
Even if you don't know how to give the breaths, compressions alone is critical ASAP
They are limited in the distance they can travel at the moment but I wonder how long it will take for these to become much more effective in Australia. 
This is pretty amazing but does not replace the initial CPR by a bystander.
Two hands for adult CPR, 30 compressions (100-120 per min) & 2 breaths if possible. Any Attempt is better than none!
CPR for a child aged approx 1-8 years of age we would use one hand, possibly with support, as seen here. 30 compression's -2 breaths (if possible) @ a rate of approx 100-120 compressions per minute. 
How to give Infant CPR, use a firm surface underneath the child, press with two fingers or your thumbs on the lower part of the sternum. 30 compressions and followed by two little puffs without tilting their head back. Keep going until there are signs of normal breathing returning or until help arrives. 
What are your thoughts on this? Interesting idea!  The Gift of LIFE.
This is sad to say the least :(
The importance of learning CPR & how to operate an AED increases the chances of life considerably. Is it time for fundraising?
Check this out! I have a close friend that has forgotten this number in an emergency!  Do you know anyone that has forgotten our triple zero number or maybe it was you??

CPR is best with 100-120 beats per minute, this is the ideal rate, pressing down approx 1/3 the depth of their chest on the lower half of the sternum. Not too low or they might vomit or regurgitate. Yes, you can break ribs or even have other injuries but this is deemed reasonable consequences!
