AED – New Emergency Equipment
GYC now has an Automated External Defibrillator located in a white metal box by the entrance to the women’s washroom upstairs at the club.
This is a device which is used to restart someone’s heart when they suffer a cardiac arrest and it can be used even by people with little or no training. The procedure is as follows:
1. If you find someone is collapsed then check that the scene is safe and shout for help and have someone call 911
2. Check pulse and breathing and start CPR if needed and have someone get the AED.
3. Remove the AED cover which requires a firm pull and press the “on” button. Apply the AED pads to a dry, bare chest wall as per the diagram on the pads. The AED will talk to you and take you through the steps.
4. Stand clear while the AED analyzes the heart rhythm. Follow the verbal instructions from the machine. Make sure no one is touching the victim when the shock is delivered.
When you open the cabinet door for the AED an alarm sounds. This is to help prevent theft and also alert people that help may be required.
This is a potentially life saving device and I would encourage people to have a look at it and to contact me if they have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ralph Suke
