Defibrillator
Village defibrillator
Location and emergency access
The defibrillator is in the brick bus shelter outside the Village Hall. The cabinet is illuminated at night.
If someone is not breathing, call 999. Tell the operator that there is a public-access defibrillator in the village. The emergency operator will provide the code needed to unlock the cabinet. If another person is present, one person should administer chest compressions while the other collects the defibrillator. If you are alone, chest compressions take priority.
Using the defibrillator
At the cabinet, enter the code provided by the emergency operator and use the handle to open the door. Take the orange bag containing the defibrillator and pads to the casualty.
Keep the unit and casualty away from standing water. Press the green button to switch on the unit and follow its spoken instructions. Apply the pads as directed. The unit determines whether a shock is required and cannot shock someone unnecessarily. Keep everyone clear if a shock is delivered, then continue chest compressions until paramedics tell you to stop.
