Automated External Defibrillation (AED)

Studies have shown that when sudden cardiac arrest victims in ventricular fibrillation receive defibrillation within the first minute or two after they collapse, more than 90% of them survive to be discharged from the hospital. The survival rates of individuals suffering cardiac arrest decrease by approximately 7 to 10% every minute that defibrillation is delayed.  Therefore early defibrillation is the most critical link in the Chain of Survival™.
