You don’t have to be a doctor to save a life...
Simple-to-use technology makes it possible
You may be able to save the life of a sudden cardiac arrest victim by using an
Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to deliver an electrical shock to the heart
muscle, allowing it to regain spontaneous circulation and pump blood properly again.
Today’s advanced technology makes it easy to do. Voice and text instructions guide you through the process.
You must always be aware
Without warning, your life, a loved one's life, or the life of a colleague
can be cut short by sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). It can strike anyone, anywhere,
at anytime - regardless of age or medical history. With a defibrillator,
you can make a difference. You can be a local hero by saving a person's life.
A life-supporting initiative
Regrettably, most people do not know how to respond to SCA. Valuable time is often lost
waiting for professional medical help to arrive. A shock to the heart must be administered
within 10 minutes or death can occur.
Our goal is to raise awareness that a life can be saved by someone just like you.
We want you to leave here with a new found understanding about what sudden cardiac arrest
is and how important it is to have AEDs available in community and industry locations.
Because that knowledge gives you power to save a life.
So take a moment. Learn a little about sudden cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary resuscitation
and the remarkable ability of today's defibrillators.
Defibrillation saves lives.
Remember this:
Every 60 seconds of delay before a victim is defibrillated, reduces the chance of their survival by 7% to 10%
