HeartSine Defibrillators: A Guide for Non-Medical Responders

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) can happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Non-medical responders often find themselves in critical situations where their actions can save lives. HeartSine defibrillators are specifically designed to be user-friendly, making them ideal for people without medical training. This guide provides essential information to help non-medical responders effectively use defibrillators during an emergency, specifically focusing on using HeartSine defibrillators.

Understanding Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

SCA is a condition where the heart suddenly stops beating effectively, usually due to an electrical malfunction. This leads to a lack of blood flow to the brain and other vital organs, and without immediate treatment, it can result in death within minutes. The most effective treatment is defibrillation, which delivers an electric shock to restore a normal heart rhythm​.

What is a HeartSine Defibrillator?

HeartSine Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are portable devices that analyse the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electric shock to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. These AEDs are designed with simplicity in mind, providing clear voice and visual prompts to guide users through each step of the process​.
