The team at Medic 1 are also GoodSAM volunteer responders.
GoodSAM (Good Smartphone Activated Medics) is an app which alerts people to suspected cardiac arrests occurring close to them, so that they have the opportunity to assist before emergency services arrive. We know that outcomes from cardiac arrest are best when the patient receives immediate CPR and defibrillation within the first five minutes.
Emergency services can’t always arrive within five minutes, but it is relatively likely that someone who knows how to perform CPR and use an AED is nearby and just unaware that they are close to a patient in cardiac arrest. By continuing to grow the pool of available GoodSAM ‘responders’, patients will be able to receive life-saving care as fast as possible and this will improve outcomes.
