What is an AED?

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life- threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient,[1] and is able to

treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to

reestablish an effective rhythm.

Some Facts:

• Cardiac arrest claims about 330,000 lives each year – or 900 per day – nationwide.

• Of approximately 10,000 people suffering a cardiac arrest each year and 95 percent of them die before reaching the hospital.

• If every community could achieve a 20 percent sudden cardiac arrest survival rate, between 45,000 and 50,000 people would be saved each year.

• For every minute a cardiac arrest victim is not defibrillated, his or her chances of survival declines 7-10%.

• About 80 percent of all sudden cardiac arrests happen at home, so being trained to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can mean the difference between life and death for a loved one.

• Cardiac arrest is caused by a life-threatening abnormal heart rhythm that can result from heart attack, respiratory arrest, electrocution, drowning, choking or trauma, or it can have no known cause.

• When cardiac arrest occurs, the victim collapses and loses consciousness, stops normal breathing and loses blood pressure.

• Brain death starts to occur in just four to six minutes after someone experiences sudden cardiac arrest.

• If defibrillation can be performed within the first 1-3 minutes, there is a 70-80 % chance of survival.

• The use of effective bystander CPR nearly doubles a victim’s chance for surviving sudden cardiac arrest.

• CPR is not a substitute for defibrillation. CPR helps maintain vital blood flow to the heart and brain until defibrillation can be administered.

• Although automated external defibrillators (AEDs) were invented in the 1980s, technological advances have led to the development of more compact, portable versions.

• AEDs are safe for trained lay rescuers to treat sudden cardiac arrest because the devices automatically analyze the heart rhythm and only allow an electric shock when necessary.

AEDs are easy to use, compact, battery-operated, lightweight and durable.
