If you think that someone is having a heart attack or cardiac arrest then first call 999 – the operator will give you the current code for the AED cabinet lock if they think you will need the AED. Please emphasise that you are in Little Melton as there has been confusion with Great Melton!  The lock buttons need to be pushed firmly, the code will always start with C (clears any part entered codes from people fiddling with the lock).

The AED is used during cardiac arrest in order to stop the heart from fibrillating (not beating properly) by delivering an electric shock.  Speed is important as the fibrillating heart is not pumping blood.

Please see further information about using the AEDs
