Community Defibrillator Project


Why is MidCentral DHB putting defibrillators in the community?

A casualty’s survival from sudden cardiac arrest is directly related to the time from collapse to defibrillation. If a defibrillator can be used in the community while an ambulance is on its way, survival rates can be improved dramatically. There is a vast body of international evidence that supports early use of defibrillation, and public access defibrillators are common in both the US and Europe.

Please tell us what you think of our services.
