How to use a defibrillator
A defibrillator produces a high energy electric shock to the heart and is used in the event of cardiac arrest. They can be used without any training or first aid knowledge. Full audio instructions are given.
If a heart start emergency occurs in the vicinity of a defibrillator, call 999. You will be given a code to access the secure defibrillator cabinet if the defibrillator is stored in a cabinet.
If you use a defibrillator
If you do use a Stirling Council defibrillator, please let us know, as we need to check and replace any associated equipment on the defibrillator each time it has been used so it is ready for any future use. You can call us on 01786 404040.
