Cardiac arrests can happen to anyone, anytime, and anywhere. They are often unexpected and occur without warning. When a person experiences a cardiac arrest, every minute counts. For every minute without defibrillation, the chances of survival decrease by 10%. Having an AED on hand can significantly improve the outcome, making it an essential piece of equipment for any first aid kit.
As we approach the end of the financial year, St John Ambulance is offering a great deal on our state of the art defibrillator. Not only will you be saving money, but you will also be supporting a vital cause, with proceeds from our sales directly funding our community initiatives and educational programs.
Spotlight on the St John G5 AED with iCPR Feedback
The St John G5 AED is a state-of-the-art device is equipped with iCPR feedback, a revolutionary feature that provides real-time feedback on the quality of chest compressions during CPR. Quality CPR is integral to the chain of survival, and the St John G5 AED ensures that rescuers perform compressions at the correct depth and rate.
While most defibrillators provide audio prompts to maintain the correct speed of compressions (often to the beat of "Staying Alive"), the St John G5 AED goes a step further. It can detect the depth of compressions and give immediate feedback, helping rescuers adjust their technique to deliver optimal care. This feature can be critical in increasing the chances of survival during a cardiac arrest.
