Defibrillator guidance
Ballynacally / Lisheen Defib group
Ballynacally Parish Council began the process of providing Defibrillators for their side of the parish in September 2012. Training for cardiac responders was also required and this began in February 2013. Following the first round of training, two AED's were fitted and these units are located in the following areas. Training will continue and include child CPR as well as techniques to use in the event of choking.
In the event of an EMERGENCY you need to be prepared. Please read the following post here and make sure you are prepared to act
Locations
1. In the car park of Clondegad GAA grounds in Ballynacally Village
2. At Lisheen cross on the Main Ennis Road
In the event of emergency break the glass in the key holder and carefully remove the key, open the lock and the 2 fasteners on the side of the yellow defib box to access the defibrillator.
Initial training of Cardiac First responders took place over a weekend in February 2013. Groups of 6 were trained over many sessions. Further training took place in 2014 and refresher training will take each year begining in 2015. However practice sessions with a drop in approach will take place regularly. 75 people are now trained in the area
Good Samaritan laws provide legal protection for those who provide first aid in good faith and accept no compensation, it would be expected that users have certifications for AEDs use. When the patient is in cardiac arrest, it is impossible to do more harm than good because the patient will be unlikely to survive without help. Without help - the chance of surviving a cardiac arrest is between 4% to.jpg)
6%. Don't be afraid your actions will only help. (good Samaritan report here)
The defibrillator's will be checked regularly but if you notice any problems with them, the boxes they are contained in or the break glass key boxes, please contact us at the numbers below asap, thank you.
