If you were with someone experiencing a cardiac arrest, would you know how to find a defibrillator and how to use it? Ambulance Tasmania has created a smart phone app showing the location of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) across Hobart and Tasmania, with instructions on how to access them. When someone suffers a cardiac arrest, their chance of survival declines by almost 10 per cent per minute, so prompt access to an AED can be life saving, particularly if the person is far from a hospital in a rural or remote area. AEDs can be registered and added to the map online, by calling 1300 979 057 or emailing aed@ambulance.tas.gov.au. In the case of a cardiac arrest the owner of a nearby AED can then be alerted and they can bring their device to the person in need.
