Do you have a Defibrillator at Work? Do you feel confident to use it?
This year over 1,000 New Zealanders will suffer a cardiac arrest going about their daily business.
Having an AED close by can increase the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest by 40%.
The compact AED applies a short powerful shock to the heart allowing the heart to regain its natural rhythm. It uses simple audio prompts and pictures so that anyone at the scene, can follow the procedure safely and effectively.
When you consider that most people who suffer a cardiac arrest outside hospital have had no prior warning or symptoms, an AED is simply a ‘must have’ for any company, no matter how large or small.
