AED DEFIBRILLATORS (COVID-19)
Additional Strain on Our Health System
As Australian hospitals become stretched, ambulance/ police have more obligations and health procedures change due to Covid-19. It is important to consider if an AED should be purchased for your home.
Police and ambulance will usually have AEDs available and usually you find AEDs in public areas such as shopping centres, workplaces, sports arenas and public transport. However, many cardiac arrests occur at home and now with more people staying within their homes it is important that people who are high at risk of cardiac arrest consider the option of an AED. An AED can save precious minutes in reviving a person with ventricular fibrillation.
