A defibrillator that was installed last year in a popular city centre pub was used to save two lives within a single month earlier this year.
The Grapes, a renowned pub once frequented by the Beatles in Liverpool's Cavern Quarter, installed a defibrillator in their premises last year, and within hours it had saved it's first life. Yet, even more astonishingly, this March the device was used twice, saving the lives of two men in two separate incidents just three weeks apart.
On 5 March, a man suffered a cardiac arrest in the vicinity of the pub, but luckily emergency services were able to access the Grapes' registered defibrillator to save his life. Then, less than three weeks later, the device was used to resuscitate a man who'd had a heart attack near to the pub.
