THE RED Cross was “over<br />
the moon” to hear one of<br />
their automatic emergency<br />
defibrillators had helped<br />
save a customer’s life.<br />
When a man suffered a<br />
sudden cardiac arrest at<br />
the Wainoni Pak’n Save<br />
checkout, staff provided<br />
CPR and used the store’s<br />
AED to analyse the<br />
customer’s heart and<br />
automatically deliver a<br />
customised shock.<br />
By the time the ambulance<br />
arrived, the patient<br />
was already breathing<br />
unassisted.<br />
Sudden cardiac arrest<br />
is the most likely cause of<br />
a fatality in many workplaces<br />
but less than 10 per<br />
cent of those experiencing<br />
one survive, mainly due to<br />
delays in treatment.<br />
Red Cross product development<br />
manager Marcus<br />
Bird said the organisation<br />
was keen to see more<br />
AEDs in the community.<br />
“The staff at Pak’n Save<br />
were very confident and<br />
clearly knew what action<br />
to take and as a result they<br />

Medical emergency proves<br />
worth of defibrillator<br />
saved a life.”<br />
Wainoni Pak’n Save had<br />
worked with Red Cross for<br />
many years, facilitating<br />
first aid and AED training.<br />
“Health and safety<br />
is about caring for colleagues,<br />
customers and<br />
other people around us.<br />
First aid training for staff<br />
and having an AED on site<br />
is a very practical way of<br />
showing that.”<br />
