No shocks for college
With Government statistics showing that as many as 12 young people die each week as a result of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a college in South Yorkshire has joined the growing number of education providers who are recognising the life-saving benefits of Automated External Defibrillators (AED).
Dearne Valley College has invested in a Lifeline AED from Martek Medical,the UK distributor of the Lifeline range.
Shaun Woodward at the college said: “We decided to install the AED behind the reception desk in our sports centre, which means that, should an SCA occur, we would be able to respond within four minutes, significantly increasing chances of survival.”
The Lifeline AED is designed to be easy to use and requires no prior training.
