Heartstart First Aid AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) Defibrillator cost not $15000 but $3500

摘要

In the last issue we ran an article on a St Johns First Aid Course that is aimed at the collision repair industry. In it we stated that a Defibrillator costs $15000 when, in fact, they cost around $3500.Now here is a thought, would it be worthwhilepurchasing one of these life saving devices for your own piece of mind. You could then promote your business to all of those within a five minute drive around you, making the Defibrillator available in case of emergency. This would be a great community benefit and would get you in front of a lot of people that you may otherwise never get to meet.An AED is a lifesaving piece of equipment to have in an emergency. If a person suffers a cardiac arrest, dialing 111 and performing CPR is not always enough to ensure that they will survive. Having an AED can increase the chance of survival byup to 40% when dealing with a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
