Defibrillators in Addiscombe
We have carefully gathered information about defibrillators in our area. A defibrillator is a device which gives a high energy electric shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest.
ASPRA’s Social Media Rep visited local businesses to ask who has a device on their premises in order to produce this list and handy map – this information will be shared with other local organisations, put on our noticeboard and will feature permanently in our magazine.
If you’re with someone who’s having a cardiac arrest, call 999, start CPR and use a defibrillator if there’s one nearby.
How is a cardiac arrest treated?
Starting immediate CPR is vital as it keeps blood and oxygen circulating to the brain and around the body. A defibrillator will then deliver a controlled electric shock to try and get the heart beating normally again. Anyone can use an automated defibrillator and you don’t need training to do so. More information on how to respond to a cardiac arrest here.
