Children & Defibrillators: What You Need to Consider
A question that we often ask is whether defibrillators are safe to use on children. Most modern defibrillators have been designed so that they can be safely used on children—many defib manufacturers also provide smaller electrode pads and batteries which are specifically designed to suit children and infants.
Do you need to be trained to use a defibrillator?
We regularly get asked by our students about how easy defibrillators are to use and if you require prior training to be able to use one. The answer is that modern defibs are designed to be easy enough to be used by anyone. Learn more about using defibrillators in our latest blog post.
Where Should I Place A Defibrillator?
While there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution as to where you should place your defibrillator, there are some guidelines you should follow when choosing a location. Be sure to choose a location where the defibrillator will be easy to see and where it will be easily accessible.
