A defibrillator is used when a person is in cardiac arrest to give a high energy shock to the heart. Anyone can use a defibrillator and it will provide clear instructions to follow.

A person can die from blood loss in as little as three to five minutes. Bleed control kits are used to stop or control blood loss and prevent a person from bleeding out from a catastrophic bleed therefore providing potentially life-saving treatment before the emergency services arrive.
