No longer just for Doctors and Paramedics - advances in technology now make it possible for rescuers with very limited training to provide defibrillation following sudden cardiac arrest.
Every minute it takes to reach a cardiac arrest victim with a defibrillator reduces their chances of survival by 10%. In ten minutes the chances of restarting the heart go from 85% to almost none.
Now this equipment is available for every workplace at an affordable cost (please ask, we can provide details of suppliers and costs).
With training direct from Paramedics who have unrivalled experience in advanced cardiac life support, your staff can learn the vital technique of defibrillation in only one day.
At Medi-Tec we operate a comprehensive "AED" training scheme. The scheme follows the latest Resuscitation Council (UK) recommendations and is monitored by our Medical Director.
The initial certificate is valid for 6 months, after which students should attend a half day refresher course and re-assessment. On successful outcome of the refresher assessment the certificate is valid for a further 6 months.
The course includes:
- Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation
- Anatomy and physiology of the heart
- Assessments
- Risks & Safety procedures of defibrillation
- Automated External Defibrillator practical
