Forward-thinking Town Council installs defibrillator cabinet

Other Defibrillator Locations

Westbury Town Council, Wiltshire

In 2017, a forward-thinking Town Council at Westbury, Wiltshire, piloted by Deborah Urch, embarked on a program of defibrillator installations to make Westbury and surrounding districts HeartSafe®. Having carefully chosen strategic very visible locations within the community, HeartSafe® cabinets began to appear. Their distinctive green beacon lights fitted to the top of the cabinets helped to ensure they became easily identifiable at night. Training awareness occasions took place to encourage the community to engage and understand the benefits of the early use of a defibrillator when a suspected SCA has occurred. Throughout this time, the cabinets have been accessed on many occasions to assist the public watched over by Andrew Thomas, who religiously maintains/cares for the Council’s investment in support of the community.

It is claimed 70% of people giving CPR make no effective difference to the survival of the patient. It is not as simple as watching CPR being performed on the TV series Casualty to know what to do. Being able to provide quality CPR with sufficient blood being circulated allowing oxygen to reach the brain. Sadly too many people having suffered SCA do not survive as the brain is damaged through lack of oxygen. Being able to give quality CPR whilst the Emergency Services are on their way is essential for the patient to survive. Sadly despite the samaritan’s best endeavours the depth and rate of chest compressions are not sufficient. However, the Heartsine 500P with accurate CPR feedback will help to maintain high-quality CPR with greater chance of survival.
