Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) doesn’t discriminate. It can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. Would you know what to do if you were the only one around and someone had a Sudden Cardiac Arrest? Most don’t. At Aero Healthcare we want to empower everybody with the knowledge, skills and tools to be confident in responding to a Sudden Cardiac Arrest incident.

It is time for
Australians to
join together.
While AEDs are designed to be user-friendly, it is essential for individuals to learn how to use them effectively. HeartSine samaritan AEDs build first responder confidence by analysing for a shockable rhythm and indicating whether or not a shock should be delivered.
AED training programs such as those found at We Can Be Aeros are also designed to empower individuals with a basic understanding of how to respond in an emergency. This can be combined with First Aid Training courses for even further understanding and confidence.
1. call 000 immediately and ask for an ambulance if you suspect someone has had a sudden cardiac arrest; and
2. an AED will only deliver a shock to a person with a shockable rhythm; and
3. follow any verbal or visual prompts displayed on the AED until medical treatment arrives; and
4. additional emergency treatment such as CPR and rescue breaths may be required until medical treatment arrives;
The quick AED courses available at We Can Be Aeros cover recognising cardiac arrest, calling for emergency help and how to use an AED with CPR.
By fostering widespread education on AED usage, communities empower individuals to take an active role in cardiac care, contributing to improved survival rates and overall public health.
