- Waiting for the arrival of emergency first responders results only in 5-7% survival
- The likelihood of successful resuscitation decreases by about 10% with every minute that passes.
- Studies with immediate defibrillation have shown up to 60% survival one year after sudden cardiac arrest
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm
- An AED will deliver a shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal
- Automated External Defibrillators (AED) are an important lifesaving technology
Why have an AED in the workplace:
- Workers may suffer sudden cardiac arrest while on the job
