Playing safe at Lords
October 1st 2004

Marylebone Cricket Club, on the advice of St. John Ambulance, has equipped Lords cricket ground with two Laerdal Medical Heartstart defibrillators.

A spokesman for St. John Ambulance explains Stringent health and safety regulations ensure that major sporting events are well-attended by emergency services. However, on non-match days there are still large numbers of people visiting or working within the grounds.

In the event of a visitor or worker suffering a sudden cardiac arrest, early defibrillation can be the only successful treatment and the immediate availability of a defibrillator could mean the difference between life and death.

Laerdals Heartstart defibrillators can be used safely and effectively by workplace first-aiders before the arrival of paramedics.

Stephen Parris, estates manager for MCC says Training was very straightforward and the Heartstarts are simple to use. Our first responders are confident that, should the situation arise, they will be able to deal with it within the crucial 2 to 3min window for the optimum chance of survival.
