Hey guys, I know this forum is a wee bit old, but come on, you should all know me by know to know I like to bring them back to life...
I prefer the Philips brands such as the heartstart first aid for first responders, the fact of them telling the person how to do cpr, as well as the ability to do pediatric defibrillation rocks. Small and lightweight.
In terms of the other questions, alot of places i have seen still have either a manual defibrillator, or some places have no defib at all. At my college there is a lifepak ten, which is locked in the nursing supplies room, out of everyone on campus, there would probably be only 3 of us (The doctor on campus, one lecturer and myself) trained and certified to use it. I was fighting for an AED for the facility and they said no. Scares me, ah well i have left that college and am taking 6 months break to finish other projects. hehehehe
Im back with EMT city and looking forward to getting into the posts again
