It is easy & safe for a bystander to become a lifesaver by applying an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). Over 75% of cardiac arrests occur in the community, outside of a hospital. The prompt reaction of bystanders is therefore critical to give the casualty the best chance of survival. Anyone can apply an AED, even without First Aid training.AEDs are automatic, safe, easy to use and if applied quickly, dramatically improve the chance of survival. Without early defibrillation, less than 5% of Cardiac Arrest victims survive; with defibrillation in the first few minutes, survival rate dramatically increases to over 70%. Come to the free AED training class at the South Perth Learning Centre in June/July, and you could be a bystander who becomes a lifesaver!
