Defibrillators
Automated External Defibrillators (AED)
With just CPR the chance of survival is 9%. It’s only an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) that will restart a heart.
So CPR combined with a defibrillator within 2-3 minutes improves the chances of survival to as high as 95%.
Every 60 seconds delay in getting a defibrillator on a sudden cardiac arrest patient reduces their chances of survival by 10%.
What type should I buy?
All defibrillators are fundamentally designed to do the same thing – restart the heart with a shock. But they all come with different and unique features depending on your requirements and your budget. These include ECG display and prompt type (voice and or LED video), IP (protection) rating, CPR live coaching and feedback, length of warranty (5-8 years), battery life (4-7 years), paediatric capability and escalating shock voltage attempts.

The Wiggles get CPR friendly
No, not the new pink Wiggle, but rather CPRfriendly.org’s founder Ian Hutchinson supplying Yellow Wiggle, Emma, with their very own newly purchased defibrillator to take on The Wiggles tour.
This specific defibrillator has pediatric capabilities and noise sensitive audio prompts, which is ideal for large events with variable background noise.
Great to see The Wiggles helping to create heart-safe communities where ever they go.
