How to use the board and what to remember when using an AED
Place the 2 mm thick foamed PVC board, measuring 50 x 43 cm, close to the defibrillator, so that the flowchart is visible from the spot where the device is reached for. Before buying, check that the chosen location can accommodate the board's format.
The board is an aid and does not replace training. The basis of action is always the same: first assess safety, then call for help on 999 or 112, start CPR and use the AED as soon as it is available. A bystander taking action can decide whether the casualty survives. You can find more about operating the device in the article Automated external defibrillator (AED).
