Whipton Defibrillator

Early this month our defibrillator went missing … but it’s back now. And the good news is that it was used for a genuine emergency. It was there when someone needed it. Did you know that defibrillators are used in less than 1 in 20 cardiac arrests? It’s a time when every minute can count. Chances of survival reduce by 10% with every minute that passes without medical help.
We learned a lot while we tracked down what had happened to it, and thanks to everyone who helped along the way. Sometimes defibrillators go on long journeys, depending on where the ambulance takes the patient. But in this case it was with the South West Ambulance Service who returned it to The Star fully checked and back in working order. And while we worried that it might have been taken with malicious intent we were reassured that it can never be activated on a living person because it will detect any heartbeat.
