Automated External Defibrillators are life-saving medical devices designed to be so simple and intuitive that anyone can use one to save a life. Sudden Cardiac Arrest is different from a typical heart attack, the victim drops, loses consciousness and almost certainly dies minutes later. SCA is caused by an electrical misfire in the heart which causes the heart to have an abnormal rhythm in which the heart is unable to pump blood to the organs. Cardiac Arrest deaths occur to men and women, young and old and even school-aged children.
The use of an AED or public defibrillator is the only way to revive a victim of Cardiac Arrest and CPR can help to distribute blood and oxygen. Fortunately, the availability of AEDs in workplaces in communities is improving quickly as organizations invest in these life-saving devices. If your company, city, county, department, church, school district, non-profit, or college doesn’t have AEDs this should be addressed immediately. AEDs are affordable (typically $1200 to $1800) and they are incredibly easy-to-use as they even coach the responder through CPR.
