Are you prepared to save a life? Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, at any time. That's why having a public access #defibrillator (PAD) nearby is crucial. But not all PADs are created equal. To truly make a difference, a defibrillator needs to be accessible to anyone and everyone, at any time. That's why we created this simple 5-step guide to help save more lives with a PAD. 1. Choose the correct defibrillator If children and adults are likely to pass within 200 metres of the device, it is important that it has paediatric capability. This could be with an integrated child mode or an additional set of paediatric electrode pads. 2. Get your defibrillator Outside External defibrillators can help so many more people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, rather than being locked indoors without immediate access. If you have one inside already, get it outside. 3. Know how to perform CPR Learning how to help in an emergency is key, and keeping up to date with best practices will help to give you the confidence to step up and help someone in an emergency. 4. Perform regular defibrillator checks Visually inspecting the status of your defibrillator is the easiest way to make sure it is always in emergency-ready condition. If your battery is running low or electrode pads are out of date, the status indicator on your device will show you. 5.
