Public Safety Officers, Security Officers and Law Enforcement
Law Enforcement, Security and Public Safety Officers are called upon every day to protect the public from all types of situations. This year over 33,000 Australians will die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and it can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere, man, woman, the old, the young and in rare cases even children but will you be armed with an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) save the victims life.
The physical and psychological demands of front-line defenders are considerable and result in an unfortunate number of lives lost to Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Pre-hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest survival rates are currently less than 5% however early defibrillation within minutes of the arrest can increase this rate to well above 50%.
The only real treatment for Sudden Cardiac Arrest is defibrillation - an electric current that shocks the heart so that a normal rhythm may resume. This shock must be delivered within minutes of the arrest to successfully prevent death.
Survival is largely dependent on how quickly a victim is defibrillated.
For every minute that passes without defibrillation therapy, the victim’s chance of survival reduces by 10% and waiting for paramedics to arrive can cost crucial minutes.
Australian Defibrillators now has the latest easy-to- use Automatic External Defibrillators solutions where virtually anyone can save a life. Studies have shown that widespread availability of easy to use Automated External Defibrillators in airports, shopping centers, sports stadiums, public areas in general, etc; and early response can dramatically increase victim’s survival rates.
A successful defibrillation program takes more than just defibrillators; it requires a complete solution from the planning to training and web based monitoring to ensure that your defibrillator is fully operational in the event of a SCA.
With their well-trained staff, Law Enforcement, Security and Public Safety Officers with Automatic External Defibrillators AEDs can respond rapidly to cases of Sudden Cardiac Arrest. Many lives have already been saved by equipping public officers with AED’s as a first line of defense.
Now you can improve the odds dramatically for you and the public you protect in the case of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest event on your watch.
Rural & Remote Public Defibrillation Program
Rural and remote communities can now implement an AED Public Access Program where the AED is installed in an unsecured central location (i.e. Post Office, General Store, Police Station). In the event of an emergency the AED which is housed in a weatherproof alarmed cabinet, can be deployed and alert others that you have a situation and may need assistance while help is on the way.
Ongoing Program Support
Australian Defibrillators has seen a need to provide an ongoing solution for the management of your AED Program and has a developed a comprehensive web based monitoring program AED Web Manager that notifies you and ourselves when critical maintenance pad/battery replacement dates are approaching or are due for renewal therefore ensuring your AED is fully operational in the event of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
