Every day, about 20 Victorians suffer a cardiac arrest and only one in 10 survive.
Anyone can save a life in three simple steps:
- Call: call Triple Zero 000
- Push: give CPR by pushing hard and fast on the middle of the chest
- Shock: use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) if available
Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are automated devices that are used during a cardiac arrest to shock the patient’s heart back into normal function.
Ambulance Victoria (AV) maintains an AED registry, with AED locations provided by AED owners. You can search the registry and view AED locations on a map.
