Automated External Defibrillators

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere without warning. For the greatest chance of survival from the most common cause of SCA, a shock from a defibrillator must be delivered within the first few minutes of collapse.

  • 13% of workplace fatalities are from sudden cardiac arrest.
  • The likelihood of successful resuscitation decreases by about 10% with every minute that passes.
  • 34% of those who have implemented an AED program have used their AED at least once in order to help save a life.

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation

Rapid initiation of CPR is critical to help someone survive sudden cardiac arrest. Time is of the essence during Sudden Cardiac Arrest and more people can survive with a bystander, family member or co-worker initiating CPR and utilizing an AED immediately when someone suddenly collapses unconcsious and unresponsive. Hands-Only CPR is an option for those not knowing how to perform CPR with ventilations.

The bottom line is: Everyone should know CPR!
