A member asked:
Would they defib or pump ur heart if it stops in a gym?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cardiac arrest/AED: If a gym member suffers a cardiac arrest, the best chance of survival is if they shock the heart with a defibrillator (aed). If an AED is not available, or while waiting for the AED to arrive and be set up, then chest compressions should be performed.
