DELORAINE LIONS club has purchased a defibrillator. It has been installed in the lounge entrance at the British Hotel Emu Bay Road for community use.

A defibrillator is a device that detects lethal heart rhythms which stop the heart from pumping effectively, and then allows a rescuer to deliver a measured shock to revert these rhythms so the heart can pump effectively again.

Anyone who understands simple instructions in English, and has CPR training can use the device.
