Abiwaters Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hello all. we are currently running a PAD appeal. PAD stands for public access defibrillator. We are wondering which clubs has and hasn't got these and if you haven't got them which clubs would be interested in having a defibrillator at there club. Across the UK 2,000 people die each week after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which is the equivalent of one person every 5 minutes. This statistic includes one child daily in our schools. According to the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) a shock by defibrillation administered within one minute increases the chance of survival by 90 per cent.The survival rate without being shocked decreases by 10 per cent and 14 per cent with every passing minute. With the ambulance service stretched to breaking point, these machines and the general public etc may be the life line to saving these patients or giving them a chance to live. This is a appeal that is going to be continuously run throughout the southwest and wish to work with clubs that don't currently have a PAD to make there club a safer place to play and watch football.
