Why buy a Defibrillator with compliance to the ANZCOR Guidelines

What Are The ANZCOR Guidelines?

The ANZCOR guidelines are evidence based resuscitation protocols that include recommendations for Automated External Defibrillators.

The guidelines have been developed with consideration of all available scientific and published information.

Defibrillators that have a high level of compliance with the ANZCOR Guidelines offer the best practice features as recommended by the Australian Resuscitation Council.

Who Is The Australian Resuscitation Council

The Australian Resuscitation Council is sponsored by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, it is a not for profit voluntary coordinating body which represents all major groups involved in the teaching and practice of resuscitation. More information on the Australian Resuscitation Council can be found at https://resus.org.au/

What Defibrillators Best Meet The ANZCOR Guidelines

The Physio Control LIFEPAK®   CR2 is a stand out when it comes to compliance to the ANZCOR Guidelines as it ;

  • It complies with the ANZCOR recommendation for escalating energy to 360 Joules “If the first shock is not successful and the defibrillator is capable of delivering shocks of higher energy, it is reasonable to increase the energy to the maximum available for subsequent shocks.”  
  • It complies with the ANZCOR recommendation for default initial energy of 200 Joules For biphasic waveforms: “The default initial energy level for adults should be set at 200J.”
  • It complies with the ANZCOR recommendation for decreased time to defibrillation. It is the fastest unit on the market to shock * and uses CPR insight technology to allow CPR to be performed while its analyzing a heart rhythm giving more hands on patient time to perform CPR.   “The chance of successful defibrillation decreases with time. Therefore the performance of good CPR and decreasing the time to  defibrillation are the highest priorities in resuscitation from sudden cardiac arrest.”

We would encourage any prospective customers to make themselves familiar with the ANZCOR guidelines and make sure that any first aid or emergency training they complete is in line with these guidelines. A full copy of all the ANZCOR Guidelines can be found at  https://resus.org.au/guidelines/.

Restart A Heart Day – October 16 2017

Restart A Heart Day 2017

October 16 2017 marks Restart a Heart Day for 2017. http://www.restartaheart.net/

Restart a Heart Day aims to raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and that anyone can restart a heart.

The aim of Restart A Heart Day is to raise awareness and education of CPR and AED’s / Defibrillators in the community.

The Restart a Heart movement is about people knowing what to do in a sudden cardiac arrest emergency.

  1. CALL 000     Call for Help Dial 000
  2. PUSH             Commence CPR immediate.
  3. SHOCK          Use a AED / Defibrillator

We are also keen to support this important movement and improve survival rates form Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Tom Petty – Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Tom Petty – Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

The sad loss of  Tom Petty yesterday, struck down by a sudden cardiac arrest.

While the exact situation of what happened is not clear it highlights the shear randomness of SCA.

Also reminds us that we need more access to Defibrillators / AED’s.

A defibrillator is the only way to restart someones heart when SCA occurs.

Talk to your family and people at work about acquiring a defibrillator and guarding against SCA.

 

Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Why the Physio Control Lifepack CR plus is a great all round defibrillator.

Why the Lifepack CR Plus Defibrillator ?

Lifepak CR PLUS Defibrillator Simple Design and simple to use yet full of advanced technology, is the reason why the CR Plus Defibrillator its so good. When a person is struck down with a Sudden Cardiac Arrest the rescue scenario should be as simple as possible.

As a result you have a much less complex unit than other defibrillators, while allowing a rescuer to focus on giving good CPR. Also the Lifepack CR Plus has a high level of compliance to the ANZCOR  / Australian Resussitation Council guidelines.

Compliance to Anzcor guidelines includes;

  • Fast time to shock, 1 min 33 sec,
  • Escalating joules therapy and
  • Default initial energy of 200 joules
The Physio Control Lifepack CR Plus is one of the best entry level units on the market.
