Helping the Community Post Comm Games

It's been a year since the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games was held, but the positive effects are still being felt across the community to this day. Delivering life-saving defibs to the Comm Games crew. As the Official Defibrillator Supplier to the Commonwealth Games, First Aid Accident & Emergency provided over 150 defibrillators to be used across official venues and buildings across the Games.

Why You Need to Learn Basic CPR

CPR is one of those things that always sits in the back of your head; you know you probably SHOULD learn it, but you're just so busy it keeps getting pushed back. 'Besides,' you think to yourself, 'I'll probably never have to use it.' Until it happens. The man you see every day at the bus stop but never talk to collapses to the ground. Your elderly neighbour whilst she is taking in her shopping from her car. Your baby becomes unresponsive. Besides the panic crashing over you, you scream at yourself that you SHOULD have taken that class, because

Diving and Snorkelling Vessels To Have Mandatory AEDs on Board

In response to a spate of cardiac-related incidents involving recreational diving and snorkelling vessels, the QLD Government handed down legislation in 2018 that stipulates all tourist reef vessels that undertake diving or snorkelling must have a functioning defibrillator onboard. The move brings a sense of security and confidence to tourists and operators alike as defibrillation can now occur within a few minutes of an incident, rather than having to wait until a vessel reached shore. Lead Training Facilitator at First Aid Accident & Emergency, Scott Whimpey, whole-heartedly supports the new legislation. "Time is absolutely of the essence in a cardiac emergency,

Defibs and CPR: They Go Hand in Hand

  Chocolate and strawberries. Bread and butter. Salt and pepper. Some things are just made to go together, and such is the case with defibrillators and CPR. Far from being options you need to pick, they are both practices you need to use together to give a patient the best chance of survival. Let's look at them both separately. First of all is CPR - it's definitely more widely used and many workplaces enforce CPR training as mandatory. If someone goes into cardiac arrest, you should of course commence CPR as soon as possible and call for paramedics. But the

Defibrillators for Construction

The Gold Coast is booming right now in construction, and with all these additional worksites comes the risk of working in medium-high risk environments. We can't recommend enough that defibrillators should be located onsite at all construction areas. Did you know there's only a 10 minute window for a patient to be successfully resuscitated with a defibrillator? If an accident happens onsite, you definitely want an AED within reach! Just last week, we provided Condev Construction with an AED for the site of their next major project. Along with defibrillators, we also stock a wide range of first aid kits
