Director of St John Ambulance health services Len Fiori… “It’s either life or death and we know the defibrillator will make that difference.” VICTIMS of cardiac arrest are eight times more likely to survive after Len Fiori of St John Ambulance handed out 10 defibrillators to Australian charities at Government House this morning (March 10). The event marked the launch of a new St John Ambulance-branded defibrillator, and the St John director of health services, Mr Fiori, said having more AEDs (Automatic Electronic Defibrillators) in the community will greatly benefit the 30,000 people who die from cardiac arrest annually. “It’s either life or death and we know the defibrillators will make that difference,” he said.
