If you go into cardiac arrest, without a defibrillator, you have a 7% chance of survival. If a defibrillator is on the patient within 3 mins, the chances of survival is over 70%.
Every school, university, workplace, recreational place should have one. They should be everywhere.
Our Community First Responders are spread across the whole of Yorkshire and the Humber, and provide life saving treatment to our patients. They are trained to help in the first vital minutes of an emergency, before an ambulance arrives.
Thank you @YASCFR#VolunteersWeek
