Ep007 Finding a Defib: The Sign You Need to Know

If someone collapsed in front of you, would you know where to find a defibrillator? The good news is that there’s an internationally recognized AED sign designed to guide you straight to one. The bad news? Some people want to change it.
In this episode, we cover:
How to spot a defib instantly using the global AED sign
Why first aid signage is green—and why that matters
The risks of changing the standard AED colours
Where you can find defibrillators in public places
Defibrillators are in shopping centres, sports clubs, workplaces, and even outside country pubs. But if signage isn’t consistent, will people still know where to look when it matters most?

Ep006 Defibrillators: What They Really Do

You’ve seen it in the movies—someone collapses, the hero grabs the defib, yells “Clear!” and shocks them back to life. But is that actually how defibrillators work?
Most people think an AED jump-starts the heart, but the truth is very different. Defibrillators play a crucial role in cardiac arrest, but their job isn’t what Hollywood makes it out to be.
In this episode, we uncover:
What actually happens when you use a defib
Why the heart needs a shock in some cases—but not others
The biggest myths about defibrillators and cardiac arrest
How AEDs know exactly when to deliver a shock
Defibs are everywhere—shopping centres, sports clubs, public buildings, even outside pubs in country towns. But would you know how to use one in an emergency?
