Workplace First Aid: 995, CPR, and AEDs

The first response

In a Singapore workplace medical emergency, the immediate action is calling 995. But what happens in the minutes before emergency medical services arrive?

Complementary tools

Facilities typically deploy an AED. However, defibrillation often occurs after minutes where compressions should have already started. CPRAIDR® and AEDs do different jobs. CPRAIDR® guides compressions and ventilations; the AED provides the shock if indicated.

Maintaining readiness

Skills fade without practice. The dual-use nature of CPRAIDR® allows workplace safety teams to conduct short training sessions throughout the year, keeping staff familiar with adult (18+) CPR procedures.
