Defibrillators: How They Work and How to Use Them in Emergencies
Defibrillators are essential lifesaving devices designed to treat sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), a leading cause of death in the UK.

Widely available in public places such as schools and workplaces, these devices work alongside CPR to increase the casualty’s chance of recovery and survival.
