AED Automated External Defibrillators

Today, a friend of mine had an internal defibrillator implanted in his chest. Yes, he is one of the lucky ones. Last week, while sitting around a table discussing some blueprints, my friend collapsed into Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

In the United States, about 1000 people a day are victims of sudden cardiac arrest. For the majority of these victims, the outcome will end in death. It doesn't have to end that way.



What you do in that situation can determine the outcome.

Call 911 / Quality CPR and use AED in less than 4 minutes … survival rate About 75%
Call 911 / Quality CPR until EMS arrives…… survival rate About 30%
Call 911 / Wait for Help…… survival rate Less that 10%
