Defib pad placement is important. Positioning them correctly can double someone’s chance of survival.

Side A is correct. The key difference is that the pad on the left hand side of the chest has been placed on the side of the rib cage, closer to the armpit.

We are now in our fourth or fifth Covid wave of the year with little time between waves.

I think this is a consequence of return to school & work plus a cold and wet September. The latest subvariant XEC is not yet prevalent enough here to be driving this wave. 1/2

@RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp I know delivery times are not what they used to be but 280days from posting to receiving this parcel is beyond excessive. And for it arrive damaged too! #royalmailfail

@McDonaldsUK Ty Glas Ave, Cardiff. Evidently no one can be bothered to clean up on the night shift tonight. Certainly not a 5 tonight

Combined with CPR, defibrillation within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest can significantly increase the chance of survival.

Defib Dani walks you through the steps of what to do when someone suffers a cardiac arrest, giving you the confidence to give them their best chance of survival.

@EstherFelix123 Why are you quoting a blog written in 2021 as if it’s current. Has no bearing on the current WhatsApp outage

[Christopher Whitton 💙 @Whitton88]

@dalecharlottem I have exactly that booked. 7 nights in Orlando, FL; 3 nights in Phoenix, AZ; 4 nights in Palms Springs, CA; and 2 nights in Anaheim, CA. Cannot wait!

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

During Covid 2020, nurses who were due to leave the NHS decided to stay.

In the face of a relatively unknown pathogen and at risk to themselves, they stayed.

Don’t question their commitment.

Question why, after 12yrs, they are 20% poorer.
