The fact is early basic life support and early defibrillation is the only chance people have to survive and children do die. It isn't just SADS patients that would benefit, there are a plethora of medical conditions that can cause someone to die. All defibrillators purchased come with maintenance. All public defibrillators are safe. It is not possible to shock a live heart, a child could put pads on themselves and would not be able to shock someone who doesn't need it. As has been reported a lot recently there can be huge delays waiting for an ambulance so even one on a campus is better than none. If it can be done in other cities around the world there is no valid reason not to do it here.

Ho...This sounds an excellent thing to campaign for. However it would be good to have some stats. How many cardiac arrests are there in schools each year, and how many of those are due to potentially survivable and treatable conditions. Who would be responsible for maintaining and operating the defibrillator? How would it be kept readily accessible yet away from pupils wanting to play potentially dangerous jokes? And considering that many secondary schools have over 2000 students on large campuses, would a defibrillator on site necessarily be more quickly available than calling 999?<br />When resources are so tight due to the merciless cuts imposed by the government I think it is really important to make your case as watertight as possible.diana brighousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11535440096542396335noreply@blogger.com
