Heart Attacks Are Devastating

In the United States alone, over 800,000 individuals suffer from heart attacks each year.  The number is staggering. When these incidents occur, the ability to provide appropriate medical care immediately is critical to saving lives.  

Heart attacks prevent oxygen from traveling to the brain and can result in permanent injury if the individual actually survives. AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) can help save lives.

What Is An AED?

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDS), small medical devices used to help individuals suffering from cardiac arrest, are incredibly valuable. These critical machines help to restore an abnormal heart rhythm through the delivery of an electric shock. 

For years, medical professionals have leveraged this equipment in the emergency treatment of patients experiencing heart attacks; they are commonplace on ambulances, in police cars, and on firetrucks. 

Advances in technology have simplified their operation and now no medical training is necessary to use them. In fact, many actually provide step-by-step instructions.  Today, these portable machines are also leveraged by the general public.  In fact, they are often located in high-traffic areas including schools, hospitals, businesses, and airports, just to name a few. By improving ease of use, the industry has provided life-saving equipment to many across the country and around the world.

The Value of Having AEDs Accessible

Heart attacks can happen to anyone, at any time and in any place. When an individual experiences one, the time frame for treatment is short; the American Heart Association recommends addressing heart attacks within 3-4 minutes.  Unfortunately, when you reach out to emergency services, a natural action, the response time is often much greater.  Distance and traffic can delay life-saving treatment.

However, when AEDs are readily available and easily accessible, individuals who witness a heart attack can provide immediate, life-saving assistance. These machines are simple to use, many are designed to walk the caregiver through the process.

Many businesses are recognizing the value of this life-saving equipment. Purchasing them for your organization is an investment in the safety of your clients and your staff.
