Yn y gorffennol, y bobl sy’n prynu diffibrilwyr sydd wedi penderfynu ble i’w lleoli yn y gymuned. Ar y cyd â Gwasanaeth Ambiwlans Cymru, mae Rhwydwaith y Galon Cymru wedi mapio lleoliadau’r holl ddiffibrilwyr sydd wedi’u cofrestru yng Nghymru. Mae’r wybodaeth hon, ynghyd â’r data am ble y mae pob achos o ataliad y galon y tu allan i’r ysbyty wedi digwydd yng Nghymru, yn dangos bod angen ystyried safbwynt mwy strategol wrth brynu diffibrilwyr newydd.
The placement of defibrillators in communities has historically been decided by those who purchase them. The Wales Cardiac Network, in collaboration with the Welsh Ambulance Service, has plotted the location of all registered defibrillators in Wales. This information, together with data about the location of every out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, indicates that a more strategic view needs to be considered when new defibrillators are purchased.
