3 AED's of ours deployed in the area, in 3 days.
We have 9 Public Access AED's out in the community, across Lowestoft and Pakefield areas. These have been funded mainly by funds from local councillor's. We then look after them and pay for the upkeep and replacement parts.
We also look after 2 others in the area for Heart 2 Heart Norfolk.
This week 3 units have been activated, 2 removed from the cabinets, however all fortunately not used. That may sound harsh and we are looking at the costs here, but in fact if they are not used, it generally means the members of the public who these where deployed to, where not unwell enough to need of the AED's, or an ambulance reached them quickly and they had professional help in good time.
We would however wish them all a speedy recovery.
AED's are not always needed even when deployed, but the peace of mind they also bring to people at a time of stress, when a loved one is very unwell, is an added bonus to them being available in the general public.
If you would like to know more about how these AED's work, pop into our training centre tomorrow, Sunday 30 August. We are open 10am - 1pm on the last Sunday of the Month for anyone to ask questions, have a go, or just a general chat.

*High Powered Fluid Injection Injuries and your Coffee Machine !!
What is that? This is not something normally covered on a first aid course but today we delivered a short session to one of our clients in Gorleston, as a refresher to the session we delivered this time last year on the subject.
As we often do, we got chatting about the dangers of pressure washers. People do not realise how dangerous firing that at someone as a joke, especially if it gets them in the eye, can be.
Although, plenty will also use the pressure washer to wash muck of their boots or shoes, which is just as dangerous.
The average domestic pressure washer emits the water at, at least 100 psi
*Today however someone mentioned their coffee machine !
A Coffee Machine makes coffee by pushing water through the coffee to make a perfect cup. If the pressure is to low the coffee tastes thin and weak, to high and it can be harsh and taste burnt.
The average coffee machine uses 9 bar = 130psi to brew the coffee. Although the machine may advertise it as 15 – 19 bar, this is the pressure on the internal pump not what is being forced through the coffee.
Which is just as well as it only takes 100 psi to pierce skin !!
The steam on these machines comes out at up to 1.5 bar = 22psi, so not an injection risk but a burn 😊
*Therefore, we should all know how dangerous a High Pressure Injection Injury can be.
*If you would like to know more about the treatment, look out for our next post on just that.

We gained some artwork on the front of the training centre yesterday, must say it’s growing on me.
When does graffiti become art?

🎯 TARGET TUESDAY!
This week’s target is a simple one that could make a life-saving difference:
❤️⚡Know where your nearest AED is.
If someone collapsed at work, at home or while you were out in your local community today… would you know where your nearest defibrillator is?
Take a couple of minutes today to:
📍 Find out where your nearest AED is
👀 Look out for AED/defibrillator signage
👥 Make sure your colleagues, friends or family know too
⚡ Familiarise yourself with how to access it
In an emergency, every second counts. Knowing where an AED is before you need one could save valuable time when it matters most.
🎯 Your Target Tuesday challenge: Find your nearest AED today and tell someone else where it is too.
