The documents below give guidance on how the system operates.

Note that two people are needed: one to stay with the casualty and start chest compressions and one to call 999 and get the access code for the defibrillator.

Two abbreviations are used in the documents:

PAD = Public Access Defibrillator
AED = Automated External Defibrillator

In our case, these both indicate the defibrillator installed outside the Village Hall.
