There are 35 AEDs available, and these will need to be installed in a Community Publicly Accessible Defibrillator Cabinet. Defibrillators have been generously donated by Rugby League World Cup 2021 at a cost of £1000 each.
30,000 people die each year from out of hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), 620 of these are people under the age of 35 and 270 of these deaths happen to children within schools. If defibrillation takes place within the first three minutes of a SCA, the patient’s chances of survival increase by upwards of 80%. Having the defibrillator installed means that it can be deployed by the local ambulance trust in a bid to give the patient the all-important shock to the heart prior to the ambulance arrival. The defibrillator is by no means a replacement to the ambulance service, it just allows patient treatment to commence immediately. The community will have to fund the cabinet and installation. AEDdonate will provide access to training and register the device with each respective Ambulance Trust.
