What is a Defibrillator?

An Automated External Defibrillator, commonly referred to as an AED; is an electronic medical device that can save the life of a person who is in cardiac arrest. A cardiac arrest is a critical situation in which the heart stops pumping normally and will lead to death if untreated. 

The life-saving equipment uses electrical activity to shock the heart into reverting to a normal rhythm. A defibrillator can analyse a heart’s rhythm when connected and assess the need to shock the heart.

Benefits of Automated External Defibrillators:

Safely Using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

  1. Always check for danger.
  2. Call Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.
  3. Turn on your defibrillator and follow the prompts. 
  4. Prepare the pad application locations.
  5. Ensure surrounding areas are clear.
  6. Allow the AED to analyse the casualty’s heart rhythm without touching the patient.
  7. Perform CPR if directed and listen to the AED prompts.
  8. Stand clear when AED performs shocks.
  9. Continue CPR and follow the AED prompts until medical assistance arrives.

When to Safely Use a Defibrillator

Because time is critical in an emergency situation, do not hesitate, contact emergency services immediately by calling Triple Zero (000). You also need to initiate CPR and use a defibrillator as soon as possible. A defibrillator should be used whenever a person is unresponsive and not breathing normally. All our devices have defibrillator safety measures to ensure the safety of the user, bystanders and the casualty. 

Defibrillator Training for Competent and Safe Use

Defibrillators are designed to be operated by anyone at any time – even those without training. The AED will safely guide the user step-by-step through the process. However, regular CPR and First Aid Training is recommended to provide knowledge and skills to users.

Because time is so critical for treating a cardiac arrest; proper training can help a user treat a patient faster. Priority First Aid supplies defibrillator training equipment Australia-wide to support businesses, organisations, and governments.

AEDs Strategically Placed for Safe Access

Automated External Defibrillators should be strategically placed for high-visibility and rapid access. When an emergency occurs in which the use of an AED is required; the emotions of those involved are usually heightened, which can cause oversight and error. Installation of proper signage is crucial to ensure that users understand where to access an AED in the event of an emergency.

An AED that is hard to find or access can waste precious time to save the life of the person in need. In addition to adequate signage, AEDs can be registered with Australian state emergency services who can alert rescuers that a life-saving device is nearby and accessible. 

Regular Maintenance to Ensure Defibrillator Safety

Regularly maintaining an automated external defibrillator to the manufacturers’ instructions is vital to ensure that your device remains rescue-ready at all times. AEDs are very compact and durable; yet basic maintenance, such as regularly checking your battery and pads expiration date, is required to ensure longevity and performance of the device.

A defibrillator is a valuable life-saving device which delivers an electrical shock and needs to be maintained to ensure safety and reliable functionality. An AED is considered low maintenance, yet inspections should be performed routinely and with care.
