At Pikes, we are committed to the safety and well-being of everyone who steps foot in our facilities. One of the key initiatives in this regard is the training and implementation of the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED).
What is an AED?
An Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device designed to diagnose and treat sudden cardiac arrest. It is a crucial tool in emergency situations where a person's heart suddenly stops beating effectively. The AED is capable of analysing the heart rhythm and, if necessary, delivering an electrical shock (defibrillation) to restore a normal heartbeat.
AED Locations
At Pikes we have one AED device strategically located to attend to any cardiac emergency in a timely manner.
Clearly marked visible signage will guide you to these locations.
- During normal hours, when emergency staff are NOT present, the AED is located at the pool.
- However, please be aware that when emergency staff are on duty during the evening Events, they remove the AED from the pool area and keep it in their medic location in the car park.
Emergency Response
In the event of an emergency, anyone present at the scene must remove the AED from its location. If trained personnel are on site, they should lead the AED recovery process. For those not trained in the use of the AED, the device provides clear and concise instructions. Follow the visual and voice prompts provided by the DESA.
AED summary
The AED, or Automated External Defibrillator, is a portable electronic device designed for use in emergency situations, especially in cases of sudden cardiac arrest. It analyses the heart's rhythm through adhesive electrodes and can deliver an electrical shock to restore the normal heartbeat. Although training is beneficial, AEDs are designed to be used by people without formal medical training.
