New defibrillator arrives!

November 6th, 2009 by Dr Wheeler

NUMP defibrillator.

The defib that you all helped raise money for has finally arrived!  You can read all about its specs here.  I haven’t found any volunteers amongst the staff who would let me try it out on them for real… but I have run the automated test function on it and it seems to work fine. It is fully compliant with the latest changes to the resuscitation guidelines that we follow, and we now have special paediatric pads which will allow its safe use in children in the unlikely event of a paediatric cardiac arrest.

I think we managed to negotiate a good deal on its price – so we still have quite a bit of cash left over to buy more things for the practice.  As mentioned before – any suggestions are welcome.
