New! AED has been installed at Innerkip United!

On November 21 a group received AED training and the ZOLL-PLUS AED was installed in the Church hall on the wall between the church office and kitchen.

The AED was purchased through a memorial donation to the memory of Brock and Brent Chesney.

 

Although it is an important treatment device where someone has had a heart attack; the AED needs people to react to the situation , call 911, commence CPR and rescue breathing, connect the AED to the patient and treat until emergency services arrive. The time between the heart attack and when the Emergency Services can start treatment is critical for survival!

We hope to arrange a time for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation CPR training in 2017.

From Google:

What does it mean AED?
Q: What does AED stand for?
A: Automated external defibrillator.
Q: What is an AED?
A: An AED is a sophisticated, reliable, safe, computerised device that delivers electric shocks to a casualty in cardiac arrest when the ECG rhythm is one that is likely to respond to a shock.

Q:What heart rhythm does an AED shock?
An AED will automatically analyse the heart rhythm of a pulse less victim and, if the victim is in ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT), shock the victim’s heart in an attempt to restore its rhythm to normal. AEDs will not shock patients who do not require a shock.
