Defibrillators should be available in just about every location imaginable. We have no way of knowing when or where Sudden Cardiac Arrest will strike — and a patient’s best chance of survival depends on defibrillation being delivered immediately. For every minute without defibrillation, survival chances fall by approximately 10%.
Think of a defibrillator the same way you think of a fire extinguisher. You don’t lock a fire extinguisher in a cupboard — it needs to be accessible the moment it’s needed. The same principle applies to AEDs. The Defibshop’s service doesn’t end at the sale. We’ll work with you on placement, signage, staff familiarisation and ongoing maintenance to make sure your AED is genuinely ready when it matters.
Who Could Need a Defibrillator Near Them?
Think about the people you live with, work with and socialise with. You could easily put together a list of people who might be candidates for a Sudden Cardiac Arrest — and really, that list should cover all of us. Cardiac arrest does not discriminate by age, fitness or health history.
