What is a defibrillator machine?
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a small, portable, and easy-to-use device that assesses the heart of a person in cardiac arrest for a shockable rhythm. If such a rhythm is detected, the provider is instructed to press a button to deliver a shock or series of shocks to the patient’s heart, stopping the heart to allow it to return to a normal rhythm.
What to do in an emergency
An ambulance and a first aider should be called for any suspected cardiac arrest patient. Details of the corporate first aiders can be found on Molly.
We have installed Zoll AEDs, which have verbal and visual prompts. This means they can be used by anyone as the defibrillator will talk you through the process and will not deliver a shock if it is not needed.
Other useful information
Anyone using the defibrillator is responsible for its return to its original location and should do one of the following things (listed in order of preference) to retrieve the defibrillator:
- Follow the ambulance to the hospital
- Arrange for another member of staff to follow the ambulance to the hospital
- Obtain hospital details from the ambulance and arrange for the defibrillator to be collected at a later time/date
This person is also responsible for notifying either the Strategic Leadership Team on 01306 879346 or a first aider to ensure supplies e.g. pads, are replaced.
