Julia from Response For Life attended our workplace to provide first aid training to my team and I. I can confidently say that we are well placed to help with first aid needs in our workplace should we ever come across the need to. Julia provided us with great training and instilled confidence in us to trust and believe in the process. Thank you, Julia and the Response For Life team!

Julia Zuza from Response for Life gave members of Sutherland Croquet Club a demonstration of resuscitation and how to use the AED. Julia is a fabulous instructor. She is enthusiastic, outgoing and demonstrates clearly with detailed instructions. Julia makes it seems intuitive and not too frightening to do. I think everyone there came away hoping that they never will have to use their new knowledge but confident that they could. Many thanks to Zuza. Penny Howarth

What is a Defibrillator?

“A defibrillator (known as an automated external defibrillator or AED) is a small, portable device designed to deliver a controlled electrical shock to a person experiencing certain cardiac rhythms. Defibrillators must be used in conjunction with CPR.” NSW Health

Remember:

  • Anyone can use a defibrillator – they have verbal and visual instructions to guide you.
  • You cannot hurt someone by using a defibrillator.
  • A defibrillator only shocks a person who is in cardiac arrest.

Defibrillator research

“For every minute defibrillation is delayed, there is approximately 10% reduction in survival if  the victim is in cardiac arrest.” ANZCOR

“Early CPR and defibrillation (AED) within the first 8-10 minutes can increase the chance of survival by up to 75 per cent.” NSW Health

    When to use a Defibrillator

    A Defibrillator should be used when someone has a cardiac arrest*. Which is recognised when someone is:

    1. unsconscious
    2. unresponsive
    3. has absent or abnormal breathing

    Cardiac arrest is the term given to the sudden loss of heart function. The person will collapse and stop breathing normally. The heart is no longer pumping blood around the vital organs of the body.

      Condiserations

      When deciding what defibrillator will be most suitable for your family, community or workplace is a very personal decision.
      When deciding it’s best to take into account a few key considerations, which may include the following:

        Do you have children at your location/ site?
        If you have children under the age of 8 years or under 25kg’s. Child pads or a defibrillator with child mode is advised.
        Where are you locating the defibrillator?
        Location is important to emergency response time, visibility and security.
        Depending on where your defibrillator is located may also change what type of defib you purchase and also what type of wall cabinet is most suitable. Considerations include the climate/ weather and safety.
        Do you need a wall bracket or wall cabinet?
        The most common ways to store and locate your defibrillator visibly is by using a wall cabinet or wall bracket.
        Do you need training?

        Discuss whether you need online training and to what extent you will feel confident using a defibrillator.
        For certain people a video refresher may work and others may need a more personal training experience.

        Defibrillator maintenance

        Defibrillator maintenance is easy. However, it can be easily forgotten.

        With Response For Life ‘Weekly Inspection Tags’ we encourage clients to inspect their defib on a regular basis (which only takes a minute).

        However, we also offer programs like PlusTrac which monitor your defib, store data and send reminders.
