Knowing the exact location of your nearest defibrillator (AED) can make all the difference between life and death if someone is having a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA),

AEDs are designed to be used by most people with little/no training or experience. This means you can respond and provide immediate life-saving treatment before the ambulance service arrives.

Middlewich has over 40 Defibrillators located around the town for use in the event of a cardiac emergency.

In such an emergency ALWAYS call 999 and ask for the Ambulance Service.

Instructions

Should a defibrillator be required in a case of cardiac arrest, an ambulance should be called on 999 and the call handler will be able to advise on the location and the code to access the locked cabinet.

Step 1: Turn the defibrillator on by pressing the green button and follow its instructions.

Step 2: Peel off the sticky pads and attach them to the patient’s skin, one on each side of the chest, as shown in the picture on the defibrillator.

Step 3: Once the pads have been attached, stop CPR and don’t touch the patient. The defibrillator will then analyse the patient’s heart rhythm.

Step 4: The defibrillator will assess whether a shock is needed and if so, it will tell you to press the shock button. An automatic defibrillator will shock the patient without prompt. Do not touch the patient while they are being shocked.

Step 5: The defibrillator will tell you when the shock has been delivered and whether you need to continue CPR.

Step 6: Continue with chest compressions and rescue breaths until the patient shows signs of life or the defibrillator tells you to stop so it can analyse the heartbeat again.
