Survivor Story: Mandy’s AED Miracle in Oxford

In early 2025, Mandy, a mother from Oxford, collapsed from a sudden cardiac arrest at home. Thanks to her family’s swift CPR and the presence of a nearby defibrillator, she survived. Within six minutes, paramedics delivered a shock that restarted her heart, as reported by South Central Ambulance Service.

Her story highlights just how critical it is to have a well-maintained defibrillator on-site, whether at home, in the office, or in public spaces. When batteries and pads are in date and devices are rescue-ready, lives like Mandy’s are saved.
