Defibrillators

[dickythorpe]

With what's happening at Newcastle it has made me wonder how a member of the public acceses one.
I've seen many about that seem to be in a glass cabinet or have a key lock on them.
Do you still have to phone 999 to get a code?

Yes when you ring for an ambulance for a cardiac arrest, they ask if there is a defibrillator near by and give you the code to gain entry.

The defibrillator is very easy to use and tells you what to do step by step, unfortunately a lot of Defibs are provided by the community and maintenance is not costed into the overall costs, batteries are required to be replaced in a certain way to ensure they will work correctly.

Great tools which have saved many lives, the guy in Newcastle is now stabilised and on his way to hospital.

Ha. Only if they can get past the Colonel and his hounds.
