CPR

Open Airway

Head Tilt, Chin Lift

Put your hand on patient's forehead, two fingers on their chin and tilt the head back to open the airway.
(if you suspect a neck injury, pull the jaw forward rather than lifting the chin). If this fails to open the airway, do a careful head tilt and chin lift.

Check for obstructions

Breathing

Check Breathing - look, listen, feel

Is the patient breathing?

Yes

Place on their side in recovery position

No

  1. Phone 999 & send someone for a defibrillator
  2. Give 30 chest compressions
  3. Give 2 Breaths
  4. If unwilling or unable to give breaths then just continue with chest compressions

Chest Compressions

Place 2 hands on the breastbone or centre of chest.

Push straight down about 2 -3 inches and then let the chest all the way back up.

Do that 30 times, about twice per second.

Continue to do chest compressions until help arrives, the patient wakes up or you are alone and exhausted.
It's normal to feel pops and snaps when you first begin chest compressions - DON'T STOP! You're not going to make the patient worse.

When the defibrillator arrives

Switch it on and follow the voice instructions.

If at any time the patient shows signs of life and is breathing normally switch the defibrillator off and place the patient in the recovery position.

Leave the pads on the patient's chest and monitor their breathing. Of they stop breathing again, turn them onto their back, switch the defibrillator on again and follow instructions.

Credits

This App was made with funding provided by Trossachs Search + Rescue Team & The Friends of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs based upon an original app created by Atholl Road Design for Highland Perthshire Communities Partnership.

The app lists public access defibrillators managed by a number of community organisations including Trossachs Search + Rescue, Garelochhead & Rosneath Peninsula First Responders, Helensburgh & Local District CPR/Defibrillator Association and several community councils/ trusts.

Trossachs Search + Rescue manage the database.

The Pitlochry High School computer and Art classes designed all of the icons used in this app.

Warnings

Please do not leave this app open when you put your phone away - there is a danger you might call 999 by accident.

Using the GPS function on most phones will drain your battery very quickly so use with caution.

In Loch Lomond and the Trossachs the GPS satellite readings vary in accuracy up to 30 metres so the map locations are a guide and may NOT be precise.

Using This App

You can use this App to familiarise yourself with the location of Defibrillators in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs by using it without the location finder. You can choose to browse a list of defibrillator locations or see them on a map.

List View

The defibrillators are grouped into town or village locations and listed in alphabetical order of the town or village. If a location only has one defibrillator that is named otherwise the number in that location is displayed.

Defibrillators that have 24hour access have a green border.

If your phone's location permission set to allow it the distance from your location to the defibrillator location is displayed in metric measurements.
N.B. These distances are as the crow flies and are only accurate to about 30 metres. Please check the map before deciding which defibrillator to head to.

To see the details of a defibrillator tap the yellow block. The details will display including a link to a map view of that defibrillator. To hide the details tap the top of the yellow block.
