DEFIBRILLATORS are part of resuscitation in 2015. I will be writing myself yo the CEOs of Aer Lingus and Ryainair to ask for these to be on board all aircraft.

I had a passenger take ill on a flight I was on. I asked for O2... None available... An AED.., No... He was diaphoretic , vomiting, complaining of Chest Pain. Luckily we were near the Airport, I advised the crew that am Ambulance meet the plane. I watched him until we landed feeling totally useless.

Great initiative Caz!... but I think an appeal had been tried before but failed due to airline legislation and safety concerns with fire etc...

Surely this must be a standard item of safety equipment bearing in mind the time that it would take to get a patient to medical care.
