⚡️ DON’T BE AFRAID OF AN AED ⚡️
One of the biggest myths I hear is:
❌ “I wouldn’t know how to use a defibrillator.”
The truth is, you don’t need to be a healthcare professional.
✅ Open the AED.
✅ Press the ON button.
✅ Listen to the instructions.
The AED will talk you through every step.
It will tell you:
• Where to place the pads.
• When to stand clear.
• If a shock is needed.
• When to continue CPR.
In fact, an AED will NOT deliver a shock unless it detects a shockable heart rhythm, so you cannot accidentally shock someone who doesn’t need it.
When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, every minute matters. Early CPR and early defibrillation can dramatically increase the chances of survival.
💚 Remember:
If you’re brave enough to press the ON button, the AED will do the rest.
You don’t need confidence.
You don’t need qualifications.
You just need to act.
Because doing something is always better than doing nothing.
More on AED’s coming soon.
Do you know where your nearest AED is?
