Protect Hearts with an AED
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a life-threatening emergency that occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. While CPR can be a bridge to life, the only way to restart the heart is with an automated external defibrillator (AED). Emergency medical responders are equipped with AEDs, but with every 1 minute delay of defibrillation, the victim’s chance of survival decreases by 10%. Having an AED readily accessible in three minutes or less is critical.
Options can be overwhelming
Avive AEDs are a good option for many locations. They offer portability, are easy to use, and are rechargable. You can also wirelessly automate maintenance tasks within Avive’s REALConnect platform.
