WHY IT MATTERS
Survival from sudden cardiac arrest depends on how quickly help is provided.
Without CPR and defibrillation, survival is typically less than 10%
When bystander CPR is started promptly and an AED is used early, survival can increase to more than 40%
Survival chances decrease by 10% for every minute that immediate CPR and use of an AED is delayed.
WHO IT'S FOR

You don’t need medical training to use an AED:
-
AEDs give clear voice and visual prompts
-
They are designed for use by everyday people in real emergencies
-
They automatically analyze the heart rhythm and determine whether a shock is needed

ABOUT SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST

Without immediate treatment, sudden cardiac arrest is often fatal.
