Defibrillators are life saving equipment for use when
someone’s heart has stopped.

THIS EQUIPMENT SAVES LIVES

It is designed to be used by a person without training.  The equipment is automatic and only requires minimal attention

If you suspect that someone
is having a heart attack dial 999 immediately and ask for
the ambulance service and
follow their directions

We currently (27.01.12) have two defibrillators installed in the village.

Locations:

Community Centre in
Abson Road (map).
It is on the outside wall near the entrance to the building.

PVSSC (Top Club) in
St. Aldam’s Drive (map)
Is on the wall in front of the club

At night there is a GREEN light above the defibrillator

THE DEFIBRILLATOR IS ACCESSED BY A CODE

In the case of an emergency call 999.  The ambulance service will advise you if the emergency requires the defibrillator and give you the access code.

We want to install up to four defibrillators in the area to minimise the time it takes to access the equipment. Please continue to support the fundraising.

Why You Should Support
Pucklechurch HeartStart

• Sudden cardiac arrest rapidly leads to irreversible brain damage and death
• After approximately three to five minutes, irreversible brain and tissue damage begins to occur
• For every minute a person in cardiac arrest goes without being successfully treated by defibrillation the chance of survival decreases by around 10%

On average* there will be three emergencies a year in Pucklechurch where a defibrillator could be used to save life or reduce disability following sudden cardiac arrest
