How to do CPR and use a defibrillator
Basic Life Suppport (BLS) guidance, including CPR, is available in various protocols. The British Heart Foundation has a useful Youtube video which can be viewed here. To go to the protocol page, click here or on the "Protocols" tab above.
The Public Access Defibrillators are designed to be used by anyone, no training required. Press the green button to switch the machine on and then voice prompts will guide the user through the procedure. Again, the British Heart Foundation has produced a Youtube video showing the steps.
