‘Call – Push – Shock’ is an easy way to remember how you can help save a life. Call triple zero.  Push: do CPR (chest compressions). Shock: use an AED (‘heart start machine’ or Automated External Defibrillator).

A demonstration session on Saturday 23rd November will share information on what to do if someone near you is suffering a cardiac arrest – they will be unconscious and not breathing normally.
Seconds count in a cardiac arrest. Starting CPR within 3-4 minutes may increase the chance of survival by up to 50 per cent!  If someone near you has a cardiac arrest and you’re unsure or forget how to do CPR, that’s ok. Call triple zero and a call taker will guide you through it. The AED machine will also tell you what to do.
At the session you will:

* See a CPR and AED demonstration. You can try CRP on a mannequin that will give you feedback on how effective you are. 
* Hear what an AED says and get to handle AED pads.  
* Got questions about doing CPR in rural or marine conditions? Our friendly Intensive Care Paramedic will have a question time.  
* Do you know where your nearest AED is? We’ll show you the AED locator app.

Come and join in this interactive live demonstration on Saturday 23rd November from 2:30 to 3:30pm at the Palais Theatre, Main Road Franklin. 
Free and includes afternoon tea.
