?? Martek Lifecare Partners with Community Heartbeat Trust to Increase the Chances of Survival from Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

In April, we announced a partnership with The Community HeartBeat Charity , who supports communities in the correct provision of defibrillators.???

This strategic partnership will focus on key defibrillator projects where the combination of Community Heartbeat Trust’s long-term support and Martek Lifecare’s life-saving technology will facilitate the businesses combined dreams of increasing the chances of surviving sudden cardiac arrest. ???

Together, we'll further combine our life-saving defibrillators with Community Heartbeat Trust's long-term support programmes, making communities across the UK safer. This builds on our existing success of placing over 780 defibrillators in cricket clubs since 2015.?

Martin Fagan, National Secretary at The Community Heartbeat Trust, said about the partnership?

“Defibrillators, supported by a full package of support including training, are essential parts to the Chain of Survival. We feel it is important communities have a fully supported package to make sure these lifesaving devices are there now, and into the future. This support from Martek and Defibtech will allow us to open up additional areas of particular need, such as areas of deprivation, where survival is at its lowest.”?

?? Unlocking AED Accessibility and Advancing Technology

As we strive to improve public safety, one of the critical issues is whether Automated External Defibrillator (AED) cabinets should be locked or unlocked. However, this debate goes beyond the accessibility of these life-saving devices.??

When it comes to choosing between locked and unlocked cabinet options, this decision involves balancing the need for rapid emergency access against security concerns and insurance policy requirements.?

To understand the topic, we discussed in our latest blog the crucial factors related to AED functionality and maintenance, as well as the emerging technologies that are transforming defibrillation.?

?? Would you know what to do if you saw someone have a sudden cardiac arrest?

According to the English Ambulance Service report, there were?95,153 out of hospital cardiac arrest calls in the UK in 2021.?Around 1 in 10 people survived out of the 31,995 patients treated by the ambulance service. This low survival rate is due, in part, to the fact that many do not receive the necessary medical attention in time.?

?People who witness out of hospital cardiac arrests can help the victim?have a better chance of survival if they know the signs and symptoms of cardiac arrest and know what to do if an emergency occurs.?
